Do people IRL outside /ic/ give a fuck if someone traces photos?

>>2884418
Yes, but only if the photo's copyright belongs to someone else.

>>2884419
do you need permissions to trace photos?

>>2884421
Yes

>>2884423
what about derivative work?

>>2884418
Yes because you can see it, feel it.

Yes.

No you don't. Maybe in america (aka 'the land of the free') you need permissions, but literally everywhere else you don't.

>>2884493
What? Other than 3rd world countries and some of Asia that just doesn't give a shit, copyright is taken seriously, as it should be.

There was this guy in the town I grew up in who had some neat stuff.
I asked him about his work, where he went to school or if he was self taught.
He said he's self taught. He also straight up told me all his works are traces. He takes the photos himself though.
He does pretty good rendering but finding out he traces was kind of a let down.

What counts as tracing? If i try to draw what i see from a photo reference is that tracing? Or does it mean literally putting the paper over the screen?
