Free Music Graphics Images
Can I use ‘public domain’ graphics free-of-charge for the cover of my written fiction…?
…if I credit the artist of the images?
I’m writing a book (fiction) and I have found two images on the Internet that I believe would be ‘eye-catching’ marketing tools. Unfortunately, the artwork is currently being used by a music group for two of their album covers.
Where can I get info regarding copyrights and the payment due to the artists of same, as ruled on by Canadian business law?
(Sorry, two questions, but I don’t want to see anyone (myself included) hurt by copyright infringement.)
Later Daze! =)

If they are truly public domain — meaning there is no copyright on them because they have been released for public use — then you can do anything you want with them — with or without credit to the artist.
If they have been released under a Creative Commons license — or some similar public-use license like the OGL or GPL — then you can use the graphics subject to whatever conditions and restrictions exist in the license.
Anything else is copyrighted — and you would need permission of the copyright holder. Contact the music group or the publishing company, find out who holds the copyright, and try to negotiate a license to use their artwork on your book.
