Can anyone help me with this?

I'm looking for a site from which you can lift graphics of the cards and paste them into a word document. Does anyone know of anywhere?

If you play online, you can lift the card graphics from a site's images folder.

Those images are copyrighted by default and reuse without permission is infringement.

You can get "free" card images at this site (http://www.waste.org/~oxymoron/cards/) but the face cards don't have color. Does anyone know of "free" card images of higher quality?

Perhaps the fair use provisions will give you exemption and freedom to use the images. (I assume the poster is in the US)

from http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html

Sec. 107. - Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use



Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include -

(1)

the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2)

the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3)

the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4)

the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.


The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors
