I disagree you can throw all laws at me etc unless the Ops Daughter is Miley Cyrus or another celebrity, or even a picture that will make 1D look bad ie drugs, nudism etc the it would be a valid argument.
But Fair usage applies here if the OP provides the pictures then the PSG member fulfilling the job is doing a job requested and is not reselling other peoples work.
if you hire a decorator but supply the paint and wallpaper yourself is that decorator going to ask for proof of purchase and interrogate the client to find if the stuff supplied is stolen or not.
90% probably more of the images on our database which people have uploaded are not their own works originally but have edited it into something etc.
Fair usage is still applicable here unless they want a watermark on it saying official merchandise. I have yet to meet a photoshopper that has only ever worked on content which they whole heartedly own themselves without some kind of license disclaimer or google searched etc.
Keep things realistic and if 1D or any lawyers send a take down notice or contact us stating within good reason what we have done to violate their clients wishes etc then we will certainly comply.
We are not here to make money by stealing, making money is a treat a little something back to the people who contribute here and for those that will only participate where money is involved as you all are aware of who they are.
We provide a contact anyone wishing to employ PSG directly for work they can do so at
www.photoshopgurus.com where requests and work will be done in a more professional manner and charged more appropriately with disclosure contracts etc.
This is why the pricing suggestions are just suggestions based on low pricing to literally compensate for the time.
And fyi under all these copyright claims etc I have yet to see something in this forum where it would be a legitimate claim. I have done work for mobile apps taking well known branding (logos) and editing them for guess the logo games etc. now if your thinking that the aps paid to use the logos then your in for a shock, I contacted legal personal and the companies and as long as you dont disgrace the company they are fine with it, they get free publicity and advertising.
Not 1 disclosure form or contract was ever signed for some of the biggest apps on marketplaces blatantly stealing logos etc as you would put it on here. Many companies, Celebrities, Tv Networks etc now provide free content which you can download and do with what you like normally vector format so that when people do use their name it is high quality and correct, even celebrities normally have a page on their website or their management company providing high res images to be used for media all be it with a watermark in the corner crediting the real image owner etc.
