Buisness Cards

I think that the Williams estate would have an issue with you using the image in a commercial endeavor.

It is a business card I hand out for free I highly doubt the Williams estate will have a problem.

I can not imagine it being illegal but I am not a lawyer. We do have several on this forum. Any of you have thoughts on this?

If they are given away for free I too doubt there would be an issue. I am not a lawyer though.

I am a lawyer. I think it would look nice with a red border. Apart from that, I don't have any input into the actual legality of it as that is way outside my area of expertise.

Not a lawyer BUT

Adding the red border I think means you've now made the image your own. There is some standard, I think it's that you have to alter an image something like 30 percent and the original image and copyright no longer apply, because you've now created a new image.

So if you're really worried about it, I'd add the red border and maybe a closer crop or something like that.

I did crop the picture over 30% to get the image the way I wanted it.

If I could have figured out how to add the red border I would have. I will have the cards in hand Wednesday.
