Unrepentant cheats they are. On the issue of Google items in the public domain, nobody can sue you on that! You are protected once the item is in the public domain but you must acknowledge your source. Tagged pictures should be avoided but a clean posted item in the public domain is minced meat for all. If you do not want your item shared, tagged it as such and keep it private.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-46683084498626524352014-04-25T08:59:18.518+01:002014-04-25T08:59:18.518+01:00Its a good thing u didn't get sued, this is a ...Its a good thing u didn't get sued, this is a great post, it should sound as a wakeup call, let's keep educating ourselves.TnksEdu Sholahttp://www.spotlightworldwide.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-54688979232344032692014-04-23T08:54:37.394+01:002014-04-23T08:54:37.394+01:00Thank God you weren't sued..

Morally though the said blogger should have credited where she got the photos from she doesn't need to if the photos did not have the information I just mentioned but it is the right thing to do. That being said even if a photo has a watermark you need to check the source if it is the photographer's website and he/she has no objection (disclaimer) to his photos being used then it is okay to use them with his watermark without checking with him/her first if they however require permission then the right thing to do is to email them and ask for said permission which is almost always granted for free and keep the email as a proof of permission. Sisi Yemmie I do not see any disclaimer on use of your photos on this blog I think you should add your preference as in whether it is okay to use them without permission, or if you need them to be linked back to this blog, or if you require permission before they can be used by other peopleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524602601769529186.post-20016674324500563542014-04-17T09:03:10.827+01:002014-04-17T09:03:10.827+01:00I am an event blogger and most times, its difficul...I am an event blogger and most times, its difficult to get pictures that suit my content.

You just have to type copyright free image next to the item you are searching for in the search box and they will come up. Also Getty images has plenty and i mean plenty of images at your disposal and most of them only require you to credit the photographer whose details they provide with the photo and you are good to go.

There have been a small number of exceptions where we used other photos but if anything, I will only link to a relevant photo. <br /><br />Sites like morguefiles and so on exist from where you can get photos that are no longer under copyright so once in a while I will use that.<br /><br />I remember ages ago on facebook when I had a photo of a friend that I took (logo and all o) only to see it in someone else's gallery sans logo, a friend of my friend. When I asked where she got it from, she actually got aggressive and started on some nonsense. But dude, you nicked my photo! So ridiculous!
