Copyright Notice
Copyright is Extremely Serious Business
The images of the photographers represented by Picade LLC
are protected by both national and international copyright laws and treaties.
We make our living by licensing the right to use them for both commercial
and non-commercial purposes in advertising, editorial, graphic design,
multimedia, and many other types of usages. None of the images represented by
by Picade LLC are in the public domain, or may be used for
any purpose whatsoever without the prior payment of a copyright license
fee for the specific usage and the issuance of a written license by
Picade LLC or its authorized agents for the specific usage.
Except as permitted under license, our images are presented on this website
for personal viewing purposes only, for the benefit of commercial users of photography
and illustration. Our images may not be reproduced or used in any manner
whatsoever without the prior written consent of Picade LLC or its authorized agents and
subject to the prior payment of the appropriate licensing fees for the specified
licensed usage.
It is illegal to copy or use portions of our images whether
by downloading, scanning, digital reproduction, or as reference for another
illustration. Likewise, incorporating all or part of an image in another
image constitutes an infringement of copyright. Changing an image does not
make it yours. The original image, however modified or distorted, is still
protected by copyright.
Infringement of copyright is a serious offense, subject to extremely severe
penalties under law. If you want to use someone else's image, get the permission of
the copyright owner - in writing - before using the image in any manner or
making any copy or derivative use.
