Hey guys, I need some help with graphic design and I can't ask /gd/
So, I want to make these stickers for /osg/, basically bumper stickers that you put on your rear window instead of on your bumper. But the problem is that the background images aren't 300ppi, they're just screenshots from the Initial D movies. And that's another problem, I can't sell them if I'm using screencaps from the movies.
So what I need help with, is if somebody would be so kind as to possibly re-draw the background images digitally so that I'm not infringing on anything, and so that they will be high enough quality. The slaps are supposed to be 8" by 3" if that matters.
Thanks.

Oh, and I can provide the screencaptures if necessary.

You're still infringing.
I can't sell mickey mouse bumper stickers just because I drew mickey mouse.
Google "derivative work copyright".

Ah fuck, that sucks. Can't I claim that it's just photorealistic drawings that happen to have the same angles as the shots in the backgrounds?
I'm not looking to have the exact same style re-created, just the outlines and colors. I don't expect to have the bushes in the background or the scuffs on the paint remade you know?
There are other vendors who seem to be using scans of the manga on their stickers, not sure how they're getting away with it.

Jap copyright is not the same. Look at doujins and the likes.
But nobody is going to redraw this whole thing, OP.
Especially not after mentioning you're going to sell them and we're not going to see a penny.

No, the law is the same, it's just rarely enforced.
If the authors are actively encouraging the creation of derived works (like, for example, Kemono Friends hosting their own 'Japariket' marketplace), then they're granting you an implied license, as they reasonably could have forsee that derived works would have been the result.
Even if they're not, if they don't do anything to enforce their copyright whilst working in an environment where most people never enforce their copyright, you've got a good claim that making and selling doijins like this is "custom and practice" and so your infringement isn't wilful, and at most you'll just have to C&D.

The usual test is "if the original work never existed, would I/could I be creating this work?". In your case, no matter how you dance around it, the answer to that question is going to be "no".
If there were never an Initial D, and that art never existed, you wouldn't be trying to copy or recreate it.
