What else can I help you with?
Is it a violation of copyright laws to make a painting from copyrighted photos?
Without a license, yes.
Are old paintings copyrighted, and if so, what are the implications for their use and reproduction?
Old paintings may be copyrighted depending on the laws of the country where they were created. If a painting is still under copyright protection, using or reproducing it without permission could lead to legal consequences. However, if a painting is in the public domain (meaning the copyright has expired or was never held), it can be freely used and reproduced. It is important to research the copyright status of a painting before using it to avoid any potential legal issues.
If I paint a picture that has already been painted by an artist but say it is 'After The Artist' with the artists name and title can I sell the painting without fear of copyright infringement?
No it's called counterfeiting.
Why does a painting have a copyright symbol on it?
The artist is concerned with protecting his or her copyright.
Do I own the copyright if I purchase a painting?
When you purchase a painting, you own the physical artwork but not necessarily the copyright. The artist typically retains the copyright unless they transfer it to you in writing.
What does a circled c on a painting mean?
A circled "C" on a painting indicates that the artwork is copyrighted. This symbol signifies that the creator or copyright holder retains exclusive rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work. It's a way to protect the artist's intellectual property and prevent unauthorized use of the artwork.
Does painting on textiles infringe on copyright laws?

How to Copyright a Work?
There is nothing complicated about this. To have a copyright secured on a piece of work, the work merely has to be created and put in a tangible medium. That’s right. If you have a poem, a song, story, article, white paper, logo, painting, artwork – published or not – it is already copyrighted. However, in order to prove this copyright, should it ever be infringed upon, a registration of your copyrighted work would be necessary. Don’t worry – even this process is not difficult. Unfortunately, it’s not free. To register a copyrighted work, go to http://www.copyright.gov and click on the link that directs you to register electronically (if you’re work is able to be made digital), or to print the forms if you choose to go snail mail. Attach the fee of $35 for the electronic registration, and $50 for basic, paper registration using the form CO. There is only one application per copyrighted work, and in keeping with the copyright principle, the forms are not reproducible. Apparently, the form CO creates a 2D barcode as you fill it in, making a unique number with each registration, thereby enabling the office to process it much quicker. Mail – or electronically submit – your application and fee, and then forget about it. It will be another year and a half before you see a certificate of registration, but don’t let that stop you from publishing. The moment the office receives your submission, it is considered registered even though you receive your certificate at a much later date. It is important to note that while a popular method of copyrighting a work called ‘poor man’s copyright’ is very economical, which involves mailing yourself the copyright work, it is not insured as an official piece of copyrighted material should the matter come up in court. If a copyright infringement occurs, the best step would be talking to a Copyright Lawyer.
Is it copyright infringement if I paint a portrait of Virginia Woolf from a photo?
This question has been in court several times over the past few years. Strictly speaking, the copyright holder of the photograph has the exclusive right to make or authorize derivative works. The question of whether a painting based on a photograph is a derivative work or a new work is not sufficiently expressed in the law.
