Tarot by HH
Originally by gypsy:-
People are usually under the assumption (innocently enough) that because they may have purchased a book or a CD containing artwork, that this would then entitle them to reproduce the contents, for whatever means, but that is usually not the case
Most products will stipulate somewhere, either on the packaging, or even on the beginning of the CD itself (alot of times it will show up, when you are first installing the program) that it is indeed copyrighted
I'm sure most people do not infringe upon the artists rights intentionally, as this is not a common area of discussion
I hope this may have helped

Indeed you have clarified my understanding
Unless the CD or software specifically states in the end-user agreement that it is permissable to make a copy of the deck in its entirety to do so IS copyright infringement
As another source told me this morning
just because the software has the option to print does NOT give implied permission to do so, especially when we are speaking of printing a whole deck to be used as deck: the option to print a reading using the images from a deck falls under a different directive
It behooves all of us to be familiar with copyright laws
Thanks for your insight, Gypsy
It IS in the cards! HH
