Is Google Banning Live Wallpaper of Celebrities ?
I can only assume they would be doing this as you don’t own the copyright for the images?
Owner of image has not a problem but the great google has a problem…
from my experience, no. If you make a fan app named “Adele, Rihanna etc” it won’t get banned… at least I wasn’t. You should ask for permission to use the image from the author, or if you want to risk a little, just write a disclaimer that all images are copyrighted to their authors, etc etc.
copyright = the right of copying .. pretty obvious that such a disclaimer will not help you in any manner .. it will just state that you do know that you do not own copyright and do it nevertheless
Such careless handling with IP/Trademarks is the reason for all that DRM/DMCA stuff we are facing nowadays. and you even monetize it .. license? who cares, found on web, should be public, lets do it. What? Banned? WTF?
How to: Get a license to publish -> let’s go. You’ll find mutliple sources of such imaginery with proper licensing.
true true…
Also in such situation, is it only matter to get permission / license from author of photo (photographer)? What about using someone’s (celebrity) image (i don’t know if it’s proper word in english - i’m not talking about picture) - is it allowed? I think it’s gray area.
For example, if i take a photo of reiti.net, can i use it in my game? I have a rights to such photo - after all i’ve made it.
no no i don’t think that google will ban
