I’m trying to use the image I created as a book cover and sell the book. It’s that okay?

    The law in this area is gray, at best, but law is interpreted and a court case could go either way depending on how convincing the arguments deployed are.

    Your question is actually

    If I got sued, would I win?

    And nobody can tell you that, not even a lawyer - they could take an educated guess, but that’s it. So the real question you need to answer is:

    Am I willing to take the risk that I could be sued for copyright infringement for using this image, knowing that I might or might not win the court case?

    And of course, only you can answer that. So… are you?
