Information and Policies

All Vintage Images offered here on Simple Elegance are derivative works, from pictures that were originally in the Public Domain.

What is Public Domain?

The public domain is not a place. A work of authorship is in the "public domain" if it is no longer under copyright protection or if it failed to meet the requirements for copyright protection. Works in the public domain may be used freely without the permission of the former copyright owner.

Copyright Protection in a Derivative Work

The copyright in a derivative work covers only the additions, changes, or other new material appearing for the first time in the work. A work that has fallen in the public domain, that is, which is no longer protected by copyright, may be used for a derivative work, but the copyright in the derivative work will not restore the copyright of the public domain material. Neither will it prevent anyone else from using the same public domain work for another derivative work.

Summary

Due to the time, money and creative energy that has gone into the Images and Graphics offered here, they are known as Derivative Works and as such these particular Images/Graphics are protected by Copyright. The original Public Domain Images still remain in the Public Domain, but my Derivative works are not Public Domain.
