RE: Never joke about road head!

@innuendo "Regarding copy rights for images, I guess you can use anything you find on the Internet but just add the original source of the image." No, not true. I have many images on the internet and being credited is not satisfactory. Especially if someone is profiting off the illegal use of my work.

Sort:  

I get your point. So how can one know if being credited is satisfactory or not?

@innuendo, good question. I don't imagine any artists would be willing to give permission without getting a cut. Sadly it's being done all the time. Best bet is stock image sites - even those aren't free. If you are making money off of an image (directly or indirectly) that you have not paid for in some form - like a licensing agreement of sorts, you are risking a lawsuit. And you will 99.99999% lose.

No worries, when I start using pictures, I will use my own, or simply some from the public domain as I may if I re work this for better presentation, but I really do appreciate all the feedback and input. Thanks again @innuendo and fairytalelife...
