Internet content gets recycled and we all know that. Some use it for their own personal benefit while some use it to make a living. Photos, one of the more recycled content in the Internet, most of the time is either saved or copied without giving credit to the ones who put it up.
These are the cases where copyright infringement may occur and we do not want that, right? So first things first – how does a copyright issue come across?
Well say for an instance, you took a photo and posted it in your websites for any reason at all – for your own personal design, to showcase your skills, to advertise your business, etc. You hang out on the web all day and all of a sudden, you come across the photo you’ve put up and you see that it is being used by another person who claims that it is theirs. How would you feel about that?
The Internet is a massive place, believe me and whatever the reason is, photos will be there always. There are tons of image search engines you can choose from say for a school project, for your blog, you need to advertise a skill or a service, or whatever your personal intentions are. You need to make sure though that the photos you are about to grab can be reused – how do you check on this with the Google Image Search Engine?
