She was fairly clear that whatever she doesn't buy from stock or ebay she gets from creative commons, public domain or government agencies (which is essentially PD). She definitely talked about her sensitivity to other peoples work. So maybe that is what she means by "take". It makes sense. There is so much of that stuff out there. Although I am curious, most people who have a creative commons license on their work ask for credit, even the ones who say it is ok to modify. How does she deal with this? Does she have a long running credit list somewhere or does she skip the photographers that ask to be named? If there are really an endless number of photographs out there, I suppose she has plenty to work with. It just seems like a lot of sifting. I have seen Jones lecture.

Certainly not a new controversy in the art world. Think Duchamp. Think Warhol. Jones keeps much of the original photos she finds intact (her art is in the mashup of different images, not so much in the altering of each image) which means her source images are more recognizable. And thus, makes this question a good one.

Another example of the Shepard Fairey school of thought - that if I take someone's work and change it then it becomes mine, and somehow that is OK. It is never OK to steal.

Someone please explain what the difference is between “remixing” and infringement? she “pays for some images” and just takes others?
