A Snapshot Of Online Image Theft #Infographic

Published by Web Desk Thursday, March 1, 2018

Say it with me - stealing something you found online is still stealing. It may seem as though it is up for grabs just because it is there, but that is just not the case at all. When you find a photo that you like online there was someone who put their time and talents into making that, and when they published it they did so with the expectation that other people would not steal it.

Copyright attaches automatically upon the creation of things like photographs, whether the person is professional or not, whether they publish it or not, and whether they obtain registration for their copyright or not. If you want something you will have to ask permission, purchase the right to use it, or find something in the public domain. Otherwise you should get your camera out and start photographing.
