No; simply being not for profit does not mean the use is fair.
The image is still owned by and under copyright by the original creator of the photographer who created the ORIGINAL image. Taking a photo of someone else's photo does not transfer the copyright to you (the iPhone owner).
If you are altering someone else's image, you need their permission.
Almost certainly, yes. The copyright laws protect the image of cartoon characters. When you sell it for profit you are stealing the right of the character's author to sell his own work.
Granting copyright generally means licensing it to someone else, for free: I grant you the right to put this image on t-shirts. It is not a transfer of copyright.
No. It is illegal to use someone's images from Photobucket or from anywhere (either digital or not) without written permission from whoever owns the copyright to that image. It is usually, but not always, the photographer who took the image that retains the copyright.
Owning an image or the copyright to an image are the same thing. When you hold the copyright to an image it is yours to do with whatever you will, and you can decide who has permission to use it or not. There is no difference.
Copyright is automatic, so it will be the date the image was created.
Answer Copyright basically in simple form of words means you are not allowed to copy someone elses words, letters, photos/images/ pictures without their permission.
If you wish to reuse a copyright-protected image, you need permission from the copyright holder or an exemption in the law.
With permission from the copyright holder, yes.
Copywriting an image has to be done with the copyright office of your country. If you have uploaded the image to Facebook or other social media sites, you may not be able to copyright it.
No you cannot use someone elses image without permission, regardless of whether the copyright date has been "updated". Since the law was amended in 1989, it has not even been necessary to include a copyright notice in order for a work to be protected.The only exceptions would be; if it would qualify as "fair use", or if the material has fallen into the public domain.It is up to the owner of the copyright to keep it updated, so yes, if it is expired you can use the image.
