I'm not too sure how many other writers do this, but we collect pictures out of magazines and off the internet as inspiration for our characters. Not to many who are house-hold names (Not Johnny Depp or anything), but models and minor actors. We would like to share these pictures with our few fans on our Facebook pages, and eventually attach then to character bios on a full web site. Our fans have expressed an interest in seeing them.
Is this kosher? How does one go about getting around possible copy write laws? For example, the pic of my FMC is a clipping from an old Playboy.
Halp!
