  • Legal & Ethical Issues

    Scanning an image which somebody else has created is, by legal defini-tion, reproducing an image an act that requires the granting of repro-duction rights from the images owner. Once the image is scanned, digi-tally altering it is creating, by legal definition, a derivative work. Creatinga derivative work requires permission from the owner of the original whothen grants adaption rights.

    There are a host of issues surrounding what images can and cannot le-gally be used for scanning purposes. Knowing these issues could preventyou from facing a lawsuit. There are, in fact, several different laws whichmay cumulatively or separately apply to an image that you intend toscan. They are:

    Copyright

    Moral Rights

    Trademark

    Trade secret

    Copyright

    The most widely used, and misunderstood, law regarding the use of imagesis the copyright. Under current U.S. law, an image doesnt have to have acopyright notice (i.e. the symbol) to be protected by copyright.The idea of a copyright is to give an artist exclusive rights to profit froma work that he or she created for a set period of time. After the term hasexpired, the copyrighted work automatically falls into the public domain.Thus, the public has a right to use a work once the original artist has beengiven fair chance to make money from it.

    Images created prior to 1978 become public domain twenty-eight yearsafter their creation, unless their copyright has been renewed, which en-titles them to an additional forty-seven years of protection. Images cre-ated on or after January 1, since 1978, are covered under copyright pro-tection until seventy-five years after their creation. Unpublished worksare protected for fifty years after a copyright holders death.

    Using an image, including scanning it, without a license from the copy-right owner is an infringement of the copyright. Infringers may be suedby the copyright owner or heirs for damages, legal fees and more.

    Whats Copyright Free?

    Clip Art Images You can scan any clip art images that are clearlymarked as copyright free images.

    Old Images Basically anything seventy-five years old or more (i.e.,28 + 47) is safe to scan, although other protection may apply. Imagestwenty-eight years old or older may also be useable, but you shouldfirst determine if a copyright extension was applied for before you scansuch an image.

    Public Domain Any image that has been deliberately given to thepublic is OK to use. The problem is determining what images qualify.Note that most NASA images are available to the public, with propercredit, since your tax dollars paid for them. But the problem is that ifyou scan a NASA image from a magazine or book you may beviolating that publishers copyright since they may have enhanced theoriginal image in ways that you are unaware of.

    Moral Rights

    A new twist to the copyright law is the passage of the Visual ArtistsRights Act of 1990. In effect, this law gives an artist the right to claimauthorship of a work, the right to prevent associating an artist with awork that artist didnt create, and the right to prevent any intentionaldistortion or modification of a work. Using such protection, artists mayprevent you from changing, in any way, a scan of their work, even if thatwork is in the public domain. Thus, if you photograph an artists paint-ing, scan it, and modify it in an image manipulation program, then youmay be violating the artists moral rights. Again, if it isnt yours, getpermission first.

    Trademarks

    You should also be aware of another legal protection device the trade-mark. Corporate logos are usually protected under trademark law andshouldnt be scanned or used without permission. Watch out for familiargraphics or characters Snoopy, Dilbert, Mickey Mouse and Opus are alltrademarked, and using their images, even innocently, can be hazardous toyour pocketbook. Some trademark holders are particularly litigious.

    Trade Secrets

    Trade secrets protection offer perpetual protection as long as the informa-tion being copied remains a secret. Copying plans, drawings, diagrams,lists, documents and even certain photographs that belong to a corpora-tion may expose you to a lawsuit especially if you move to anothercorporation and bring those copies with you. Your former employer canenjoin you from going to work with a competitor, especially if yousigned a nondisclosure agreement.

    Ethics

    Perhaps most important of all are ethical considerations. To be fair, youshould always attempt to get permission to use someone elses image.You might be surprised you may get to use it for free if your cause isgood and the originator feels sympathetic. On the other hand, if you aremaking beaucoup bucks on a project, then it is reasonable to expect toshare some of the proceeds with others.

    For many people, taking pictures, producing art and creating illustrationsis their only means of earning a living. Additionally, an entire industry ofsupport people from photo labs to artist's reps to publishers dependon the work that photographers, artists and illustrators create. This com-munity is damaged each time someone makes a copy of something thatbelongs to someone else. It is up to you to respect the work of otherswhen scanning, as much as you expect others to respect your own.

    How to Protect Your Own Images From Plagiarism

    Your work is your copyrighted material and it doesnt necessarily have tobe registered with the Copyright Office to be protected under copyrightlaws. Significantly altering or modifying a scanned public domain imagequalifies as a new, derivative work and is automatically protected. Allpictorial, graphic and three-dimensional artwork can be copyrighted. You candiscourage others from plagiarizing your work or otherwise profiting from itby including a copyright (such as your name, year) on your original.To register your work, contact the Federal Copyright Office, Library ofCongress, LM 455, Washington DC 20559, phone (202) 707-3000. Youcan request a number of publications prepared by the Copyright Office.Circular 1 is Copyright Basics, Circular 2 lists all other publications.Circulars 22 and 23 cover searching Copyright Office records to deter-mine the copyright status and/or ownership of a work.

  • Note: An important downsideto 2-to-1 scanning is that filmoutput takes longer and inmany cases you are chargedextra for the RIP time. That1.5-to-1 ratio looks better allthe time, doesnt it? On theupside, you can change yourmind and enlarge the picturemuch more if you have 2-to-1sampling. As I said, for im-portant images 2-to-1 is agood bet.

    ost scannning experts advise that high-quality halftones requirea scan with 2 pixels per printed halftone dot. However, I havefound that a 1-to-1 pixel per halftone dot ratio is adequate for

    some purposes. I use that sample rate for all my cover designs forthe Boston Computer Society IBM User Group Newsletter, PC Report.The obvious advantage of a 1-to-1 sample rate is smaller file size. Forinstance, each of my PC Report covers is just 6.3MB. A scan of 2 pixelsper halftone dot would result in an image exactly four times as big!

    Although purists insist that optimal imagesetting requires a 2-to-1 samplerate, newer thinking suggests that a 1.5-to-1 sampling rate is more than agood compromise. It is difficult to see the difference and the file size ismuch smaller.

    For small images I suggest using 2-to-1, as this will give you more roomto change your mind when sizing an image and shouldn't vastly affectstorage space on your hard disk.

    Scanning FormulaHeres a formula that can help you calculate the appropriate number ofsamples per inch (spi) when scanning:Halftone Screen (lpi) x Sampling Rate (spi) = Output Resolution (ppi)Magnification/100 x Output Resolution (ppi) = Target ScanningResolution (spi)Heres how it works: if you want to scan an image at a sample rate of 1.5and output it to a 150-line screen for final reproduction at 80% of itsoriginal size: Output resolution is 150 x 1.5 = 225-ppi. Since the reduction is80%, the target scanning resolution is 80/100 x 225 = 180 spi.

    I created the tables on this page with a spreadsheet program using theformula above for each cell. You can create other application-specifictables for your own use or even program a hand calculator to do the same.
