Copyright issue on images?

Question

Is it legal to take images of copyright products such as toys (hello kitty), DVD, VCD to used on blog for sell?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is a limited exception to copyright if you are using a photo (or illustration) of the brand image in direct conjunction with a item you lawfully own and are selling (or otherwise using commercially).

So if you have a Hello Kitty doll, you can post a photo of that Hello Kitty doll (which contains the Hello Kitty logo) as a way of advertising the sale.

However, you cannot use that logo when it is not being used for that specific item (so you can't put a Hello Kitty logo on your site if you are advertising something else or selling "various other items.")

Answer 2

Selling anything using a copyrighted logo is illegal. You don't own it so you cannot use it for sales.
