Settle a bet:
Let's say you create a vector illustration from a photo found on the web using AI Live Trace.
Is this image considered new art, or still the intellectual property of whoever shot the source photo?

This is all the proof that I need that we are all witless fucks, trying too hard to be funny with hackneyed obviousisms.

- No one. Much like you, only less of a dick and without the distended anus and father cum dripping down my face.Nairn
- lol, 'less of a dick'. damn, I couldn't've tried insulting you more incompetently.Nairn
- God, I'm tired. I re-read that as 'with less of a dick'.

its new work. photographers have been doing it. eg: taking pictures of art or gallery spaces.

i would say its not legit - purely because its the idea you are claiming is yours.
ie: if i drew a homer simpson exactly like the propper one, i cant them claim its mine becuase i dnt have rights to that idea.

It depends on the context.
Random picture of a dog - probably legal.
Semi-Famous picture of obama taken by a professional photographer - probably illega.
