Unfortunately both the Mickey Mouse and the Coach cakes are infringing unless you have permission from the copyright owner, so you'll want to take down the Mickey Mouse picture ASAP.

That makes me so sad! I'll take it down. Thank you for your quick response.

After reading these posts, I am thinking about clip art. Does anyone know if this affects the free clip art images that you can get on the internet? Obviously, someone created those characters as well.

Some "clip art" is copyrighted so you can't even right-click on them - I would assume those ones shouldn't be used. I'm interested in hearing other's responses on this question too. Although you also have to think, "what are the chances that this clip art artist is going to see my cake?" lol

You should assume that any clip art you find on the internet (regardless of right-click restrictions) is copyrighted unless it specifically mentions that it is in the public domain, in which case you are free to use it. For a copyrighted image you would need to contact the copyright owner to request permission for commercial use of the image, a royalty payment is often required as well.

The copyright for much of the clip art you find online will be owned or managed by clearinghouse companies like Getty Images or Shutterstock, not individual artists.

jordana 44 and jason_kraft are absolutely correct. However, there are thousands of free clip art pictures on the web that you can copy. I do a Google search for "free clip art" (and the kind I'm looking for, e.g., elephant) and double-check to make sure it's free (and not watermarked) before I copy it.

I hope I die before "your" is the official contraction of "you are."
