Shaun Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Usually the site they are on holds the copyright (if they didn't get them illegally from somewhere else) so try emailing the webmaster of the site (if you're using Google the site is obviously the one you see in the lower frame when you click the thumbnail), and no it isn't legal unless you get their permission.

VaKo Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Don't nick images from google images search, get a bloody camera or look on digg for royalty free stock images archives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l3db3tt3r Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 This issue is all fucked up.. recently Google won a battle in court ... saying it could make thumbnails of pictures for the search process that they have... At any rate your on shaky ground... but seriously, stretch the limits. the least they will do is tell you to take it down... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deveant Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 damn thats a harder one, all images are copyrighted to there creator, though when its copies of fam's paintings and such im not to sure who holds the rights, im thinking if u use a image, and not a self taken picture u should be right. though credit the site were u get them from, even if it is just in the Alt text for the image ^_^, but dont link to the image on another site, its stealing there media and there bandwidth :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooper Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 You can find The Last Supper being described in detail on WikiPedia, with the image and its copyright info (public domain) available here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Leonard...495-1498%29.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
