Artwork Usage Rights Clarified

Summary

When you create artwork, you typically own the copyright. Usage by others depends on any agreements or licenses. Implied consent may play a role, but compensation should reflect usage rights. If you commission artwork, your ability to reuse it depends on the agreement with the artist. Consider discussing terms with involved parties or seek legal advice for clarity.
