This week I heard my first actual, real-life story of someone being busted for copyright issues. Evidently this local company used a copyrighted picture of the aurora as a background for a photo of their business and then printed it on thousands of distributed publications. It was a major lawsuit. I'm not sure about the financial damage, but it can't have been pretty.
I've now been tasked to redesign that publication and several other pieces for them in a way that doesn't break the law. And as far as limitations go, the not-breaking-the-law thing was really all I was given. Pretty much they want me to tell them what they need. That's both good and bad. They also didn't want a price estimate. They just want me to do it. I will still give them an estimate to protect myself, but basically I'm looking at making quite a bit of money on this thing. Sweet!
