Hi Susan –
Would you be willing to share your third party infringement language? Is it as simple as:
The City is not responsible for third party infringement of the copyright.
Thanks!

Thank you Sarah. BTW, as part of our contracts, under the copyright paragraph we state that the city is not responsible for 3rd party infringements.

The copyright notice should also include the name of the copyright owner (ie. the artist).
You could add something like: “If you wish to create derivative works including photographs for anything other than personal use, permission must be obtained from the copyright
holder.”
Otherwise, it’s really not your job to police the use of the artist’s copyrighted work and I would be very careful about putting yourself in the position of having the artist
think that you are responsible for keeping the public from appropriating.
Best,
Sarah

Subject: Copyright notification for public art?
We're looking for some model language to educate the public that yes, public art is copyrighted by the artist and no, it's not free for people to take photos of it and use the photos commercially. What words do you use that seems to work for you, and do you put it on your public signage next to the artwork? What's been the response?
Thanks!
