Is this picture copyrighted?

I really want this picture of marilyn monroe on an iphone case for my phone, but the only place I can find the case being sold is in america and its very expensive. Would it be copyright if I sent the image to a business that personalise iphone cases?

here's the link to the picture:
&w=500&h=684&ei=7pr-UfrxDcaN0AXJn4GABw&zoom=1&ved=1t:3588, r:2, s:0, i:96&iact=rc&page=1&tbnh=190&tbnw=139&start=0&ndsp=16&tx=60&ty=120

Yes it would be copyrighted. Any picture is copyrighted as soon as it's taken. You can try to see if the company will put it on your case but I wouldn't be surprised if they say no.

Any picture that you didn't take or draw yourself is basically not yours to use.

You can still do it yourself, print the picture or a clear film sheet and glue it to the case. The effect will be simiilar

Yes, pictures of Marilyn Monroe are covered by copyright laws

you are paying the more expensive price because the manufacturer had to pay licensing fees to use the image

A photo that YOU take is copyrighted. Therefore yes.

  • Why can't I take an underwater picture with my iPhone 4s? I bought the life proof case and it says you can't take underwater pictures, but when i touch the screen it does't do anything. I have to be above water if I want to open the lock screen It will not let me touch the screen under water. Why? I bought it yesterday along with the phone and have taken it in the water twice.
  • Which picture edit app (for the iPhone) do you use to naturally remove any human being? He photobombed himself in my picture? I went to Disneyland yesterday and I can see my friend photobombed himself in my multiple pictures. I still have them on my phone. Does anybody have any recommendations (ideas) for any picture edit app I can use to edit him out? He's standing on the right side of me. (which I can see he ruined the moment for me.) P.S. Yes, I like to take pictures with other cosplayers.
  • What's wrong with my eye? (picture)? It's a little hard to see, maybe, because my iPhone couldn't seem to get a good picture. It's like 3/4 blue/gray, and 1/4 hazel-brownish looking? What is it? And how rare is it? I've only seen animals with it, no people. I know people have it but I've never met a person with different colors in their eyes at the same time.
  • Time before picture? Iphone 4s? I have an Iphone 4s. I want to if there's a way to get the picture to take in a few seconds rather than right away, because i would like to get into a picture with my family too… Help please?
