![]() They are licensed for personal use with the software, but not licensed for commercial use/re-sale. Those stock software models are also covered by copyright. Can I make models out of files that are distributed with 3D modeling programs like 3DS Max? Copyright is not affected by whether the work is available on the internet. If it’s on the web, it’s in the public domain, right? I heard that copyright doesn’t apply to anything that is on the internet. I changed it and improved it, so you can hardly tell it’s the same model. I got a model for free, and there was nothing that said it’s copyrighted. To sell or give away your version of the model without permission from the rights holder of the original model is copyright infringement. Giving credit is a nice gesture, but it doesn’t affect copyright at all. What if I credit the creator of the original model? Do I still need permission to distribute my model? But the copyrights still apply to the original work, even if your changes make the model unrecognizable. ![]() That’s called a “derivative work.” That means you took something that was protected by copyright and derived a new work from it (adapted it to make something new). I bought a 3D model (or got it from a friend or downloaded it free from a website), and I made a lot of changes and improvements to it. Marking (or not marking) something with a copyright notice does not change its level of protection at all. Copyrights can be registered, but works are protected even if they are not registered. Copyright applies automatically from the moment the work is created and exists in some form, such as in a digital file. Does that mean no one owns the rights to it and that I can copy or distribute it? There was no copyright notice on the model or on the website where I found it. The model is protected by copyright law, even if you don’t know who created it. Does copyright law apply if the model’s creator is unknown? Yes. Even if I downloaded a model that was published anonymously on a website. Does copyright law apply if the model’s creator is unknown? I downloaded a model that was published anonymously on a website. You can’t sell it or give it away without permission from the rights holder. Even if a model is available free of cost, it is still protected by copyright. I downloaded a free model from the internet. Do I still have copyrights to that model, even though I haven’t defended them?
