can i use protected image in project with corruption
hi, for example i found a picture of michael jackson and it was obviously copy protected. if i corrupt that image with rescaling, change colors etc. after that can i use them in my project? if i can what is the limit of that corruption?
You can, but without permission it would likely still be illegal.
Irrelevant to that forum. You are asking copyright issue, this should be dealt with the owner of the assets. Any information you would be given here have ABSOLUTELY NO VALU$$anonymous$$ I could tell you "yeah go for it", and then I sue you for using my work. You would say "Oh but someone on that forum said...ok, can I pay debit card..."
So do not listen and deal with appropriate support.

It's called derivative work, and as long as the initial work still matters in the final result, you might get serious problem.

And that only covers the copyright aspect... $$anonymous$$r Jackson was a shrewd business and was afforded many patents, trademarks, and other legal protection to prevent others unlawfully benefitting from his success.
