no copyright is a book of 252 pictures with an accompanying CD ROM with them all on at 300 dpi or more. it's the photography of designer marco morosini- a real mix of images. the editorial at the beginning of the book opens with the question
to whom does a sunflower belong? to the farmer who planted it or to the people who look at it? to the company who extracted for the first time an alimentary oil?...
and then suggests that the present laws on copyright preserve more the economic exploitation rights on behalf of international companies than the works themselves.
God did not put a copyright on trees, flowers and clouds...
...this book represents both a bill of indictment against the strict rules of copyright and a creative incentive. there is the awarenes that ideas feed on ideas
it's a great rant/spiel. and the good news is that all parts of the publication may be reproduced or transmitted in all form or by all means withut permission. one in the eye for the likes of getty images (though i don't suppose they are that worried!).
greetings from co.antrim, n.ireland!

I love the concept of "No Copyright." Too bad I'd have to buy a book and disc to access the photos. Couldn't he have at least put a few on the website? Oh well.

You still have to BUY the book!
Maybe copyright is not such of an issue if you work for Ferrari.

A very refreshing concept...copyright free images. Someone is making real sense!
