| Nov 26, 2021 at 13:53 | comment | added | Buffy | @djohn, your mechanism for copying is still copying and makes no difference under copyright law. Even with minor changes. An image can be considered a "complete work" even when embedded within another. | |

Could you simply do a tracing of the CAD image on photoshop, or another software? If you create a traced image that is a little different from the original, and you credit the original image in your paper with a link, then you should be able to claim fair use. If that's not possible, then the amazon CAD image is almost certainly copyrighted to one of these entities: 1) its creator; 2) its manufacturer. Amazon sellers only get a license to display the image, but own no copyright. Note: I'm not a lawyer. | |
