Oh OUCH! I did it. I used some copyrighted images from the web. After being reminded by a knowledgeable soul from the An Art A Day Yahoo Group, I removed the infringing scans from my photo album. For altered book artists this is a major educational and ethical issue. As I tell my students "A simple rule to remember is don’t steal others’ hard work and ideas". Talk about an opportunity to practice WholeLife Mastery: what's good for the scholar is good for the artist!!
The clearest and most readable (i.e. non-legalese and relevant to altered book and collage artists) infomation I found on the topic was Lisa Vollrath's A Big Rant About Copyright and Sarah Ovenall's Derivative Works.
