You generally do not need permission if you do not copy – for example, if you use collage techniques in your artworks by merely cutting up photographs or by cutting out material from magazines or newspapers. Similarly, you do not need copyright permission to include fabric or other materials that contain pictures or designs (for example, cloth with Mickey Mouse printed on it). You may, however, need permission if you subsequently wish to photograph the artwork or to put an image on the internet. This is because you may thereby be reproducing a “substantial part” of the relevant work. In some commercial contexts, you may also need advice from a solicitor in private practice as to whether your use of images or logos gives rise to issues under other areas of law (for example, if you are selling items that look like they might be merchandise from the relevant copyright owner).
