Sometimes I get emails from others asking permission to use them in a commercial manner and then I have to refer back to Flickr Common even though the photo credits are plainly stated for each post. And after posting the Flickr images on my blog I have to go through them to ensure the credits show up on Google images.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-32202304746834685452011-01-17T11:29:04.361-05:002011-01-17T11:29:04.361-05:00i use pics/text found online, give credit where it...i use pics/text found online, give credit where it's listed...

There is nothing like communing with nature. :D Gooooo Rick!!!<br /><br />Hugs, JJNature Nut /JJ Lochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895220529481743313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-89059180811135324592011-01-11T06:13:42.493-05:002011-01-11T06:13:42.493-05:00Mostly they are mine, sometimes my sisters' bu...Mostly they are mine, sometimes my sisters' but thanks for reminding us that we should be careful!<br />SandiSandi McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033518416111957858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-42540243027137763672011-01-10T18:53:34.235-05:002011-01-10T18:53:34.235-05:00You know, this is a good point.

I was very careful when doing my book trailer to use only pics in the public domain.<br /><br />But in my blog a lot of the pics I use I get from the internet without doing a copyright search. Some of them I know are in the public domain so they're not a worry but the others I'm not sure about. I should go back and deal with that. You're so right.<br /><br />Most of them are my own pics taken by my own camera so at least that's not a worry.<br /><br />JaiJai Joshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04858987106548357551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-66210113482782785612011-01-10T01:01:40.650-05:002011-01-10T01:01:40.650-05:00You are right about your concern.

On flickr I do check if there is a problem with the copyright or I think the author must be cited and linked to. But you made me realize that when I search images on google, I do not take so much care about that, I just grab the pictures from the pages they are in, although I take a brief look at them to see if it says something speciall about the copyright of the picture (which generally they do not), but maybe I should send them an email or ask them explicitly to the people of that website if they allow me to use that picture, thanks for making me realize that.<br />I have an interesting post you might like to read reagarding copyright which is:http://singyourownlullaby.blogspot.com/2009/06/copyright.html, that also reflects another viewpoint of this things.Mariana Sofferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13351209522681966230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-56846659170600194622011-01-10T00:18:57.290-05:002011-01-10T00:18:57.290-05:00The images you used of mine were of a much younger...The images you used of mine were of a much younger me! and the others I painted and drew, but you have my permission...mafarivarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13561898065592068705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27432484.post-57663053108498790242011-01-09T15:13:34.204-05:002011-01-09T15:13:34.204-05:00Wait, Kathryn- those are your feet at the beginnin...Wait, Kathryn- those are your feet at the beginning of your blog, aren't they?

I am enjoying your blog.<br /><br />As an artist myself, this is a frustrating topic. There are people out there telling artists to suck it up while other artists use their work and resell as their own. I wonder when this kind of cannibalism became OK?<br /><br />If a non-commercial blog wants to use one of my pieces and gives me credit, not only am I OK with it, I am deeply flattered. The only time I hold back is if the site is of a topic morally or ethically borderline for me.<br /><br />Occasionally, I have posted the work of other artists and I always attribute it to them (and link if they have a site) and get permission whenever possible. I have never gotten a 'no'!<br /><br />Wiki's Creative Commons is a great place to get photographs of places or things that I cannot personally get to and their images are in the public domain. There you might find the Monet or other famous images that has probably expired its copyright and the photographer has released theirs.Michelle B.
