| 121187 | 2003-02-14 05:49:00 | Is there any breech of copyright if i copy a photograph from another website and display it on mine?? | moretimer (3169) | ||
| 121188 | 2003-02-14 05:53:00 | You'll have to check things on the original website, such as terms of use, disclaimer, at the bottom of the page etc. | agent (30) | ||
| 121189 | 2003-02-14 06:00:00 | Strictly, yes. Unless there is an explicit statement that the picture (or any content) is in the Public Domain or can be used under certain conditions, you must get permission from the copyright owner before you use it. There does not need to be any "copyright notice" ... that's just a reminder. | Graham L (2) | ||

| 121191 | 2003-02-14 06:23:00 | Even if there is no statement saying that the material on a website, or even the website itself, is copyright it is still morally wrong to just go ahead and help yourself to photos, images, etc, without permission. And it is even worse to then go and put someone else's material on your own website. You can get into a lot of trouble doing this. Just send the webmaster a nice email telling them you like whatever it is so much that you would like to have it on your website. It helps your cause if you pledge to provide an acknowledgement and link back to the original site. I have done this a few times myself in the past. |
