Copyright

[Cameron]

Hello,
I am an artist in America and I am creating a series of illustration's about JTR.
I was wondering if any of ya'll know anything about the copyright laws of using some of the JTR case photograph's as inspiration for illustration's that I am creating? Is there a web site that has the copyright laws concerning the photograph's I am using?
Many thanks,
Cameron :-)

I believe the photographs themselves are in public domain. But then again, I could be wrong.

I don't think there can be any question of copyright problems if you are only using the photos as inspiration, rather than actually copying them.

I'm sure you'll be fine. More than 100 years have past, plus they're crime scene photos not works of art so I doubt they'll be any copyright protection on them.

Many thanks! :-)
