| 507915 | 2006-12-19 03:37:00 | how to tell if an image is copyrighted? Will it have the person's logo or company text displayed somewhere on the image? I'm referring to images from the internet. | lance4k (4644) | ||

| 507917 | 2006-12-19 04:17:00 | Especially if you are going to use it for commericial purposes. There was a true case where a guy's photo was used on a coffee can for a number of years, no one asked him for permission, he didn't know it was there. He sued and got 5% (I think) of the total sales, which equaled many millions of dollars. Mind you, if its just for a small time website, or a private production, I would take a punt and see if anyone notices :) Besides I doubt people will complain if you ask for the pic. |

You can do a specific google search for royalty free images. There are whole image banks online that you can down load from. |
