Legal Question

I know a company and their Creative Director buys the

licenced digital photos that their artists use to

design client�s ads. This company is considering the

use of a web site to post these ads as PDF files. This

would be a proprietary site where only the company and

its branch offices (in other states) would have the

passwords to use the site. Question (1) Would posting

these images as PDFs violate copyright law? (2) If the

original images and the fonts in the ads were made

available to other branch offices to download and use,

would that be breaking copyright law? (3) If the

Creative Director is told that it is a matter of

trusting the other branch offices to police the use of

these images and fonts, only using those they own, and

then someone uses them without ownership --- Is that

Creative Director personally liable because they made

them accessable? Or, would those parties who break the

rules and use those images without entitl
