Ed Beard Jr. Copyright Restrictions and Allowable use

(Yeah, we know the page isn't exciting looking, but there is nothing exciting about copyright infringement.)

All artwork/ images in part or in whole are protected by US Copyright laws. You may NOT use any images in part or in whole for any reason other than for personal "NOT FOR PROFIT" uses.

This includes the "myth" that decoupage or applique or any other craft or use that is sold, auctioned or otherwise presented to the market place is acceptable, IT IS NOT.

Modifying the image in any way no matter how extensive, is still a violation of US copyright laws and not permitted.

Example of personal uses that are be allowable :

*Personal web pages ( Not for tags or to be manipulated without permission) you must include a link back to our website www.edbeardjr.com
