Are you talking about the flag with bitcoin on top of it? That has been used by maybe 100+ sites today alone. I can see it was used by another website in July this year.
Yep. They can use it as long as they give credit to the author of the image.
How would they know who the author was? I would have no idea.
Well, you can't just grab images off of Google and think its ok to use them without doing proper research.
I have had images I have made be used on other websites and in one case they even claimed to own the copyright. I just accept that the internet is a space for sharing and that trying to control 'copyright' in such a place is a fool's errand.
How would the proper research have led them to you as author? I have no idea.
Several major crypto news websites have used my images with credit. They always link the source at the bottom or top of the article. This is standard procedure on Steemit and just about any other publication.
once an image is used by a third party without creditation it can be very challenging to find the original author - even when there is creditation, how can it be known if the creditation is correct?
