Here's a step-by-step guide to modifying an existing image to avoid infringement:

  1. Download image to local storage
  2. Open the image in Photoshop (or editor of choice)
  3. Using the selection tool, select the entire image
  4. Fill selection area with white
  5. Create something useful for others

Actually that doesn't quite work, because you can create an image, and use a significant amount of color that's been copyrighted, I think motorola's pinkish purple is pretty much off limits.

So no, try again... Also, I didn't authorize that you look at my picture. The imprint you copied of it onto your brain is illegal, and you'll be hearing from my lawyer.
