Can You Use Canva Graphics in KDP Low Content Books without Risking Copyright Infringement?
I watched a lot of videos and read numerous blogs about creating low content books on Amazon KDP and it just wasn’t clear to me if it was really as simple as, creating a collection of images and putting them together in say, a coloring book, designing a book cover, and then publishing it.
Assuming you can put all those pieces together and have a good idea for a book, can you really just sell it on Amazon KDP without any additional licensing or copyright issues?
There are just so many how-to videos that essentially teach a copy and spam method of auto posting which has become the floating garbage of the internet.
I recommend everyone learn more about Copyright law, especially when they are new to “making money online”.
Copyright infringement is a huge issue that can cost you a lot of money if you get it wrong. Before you earn $5 profit from a piece of content, you could easily get sued to the tune of $25,000.
Copyright laws are in place to protect the artistic rights of original creators and software companies have special licensing rules as well. The how-to videos tend to leave out details like this because it means what sounded so simple, is suddenly a lot harder.
