This can easily get very complicated....

From what I understand it's against copyright law to use image like that. It violated the person who took/draw/whatever that picture. Different thing is if the image is not copyrighted, there are many people out there who give their photos for others to use, but even then the image might have partial copyright, preventing it's usage for comercial use.

Thanks for the clarification, Flaxen.

I'm not Flaxen or LHC staff, but rest assured you can post picture of your hair your dad took without adding any text. Ofcourse it's always polite to give credit to the photographer even in such case.

Just to add to the confusion, taking a picture yourself doesn't necessarily guarantee that you're not violating a copyright. It depends on what you're taking a picture of. Certain works of art or literature, for example, might require permission before you could be free and clear to post pics of them on the Internet.

(It's probably a good rule of thumb for our purposes, though.

Bumping this in case one of the mods would like to chime in.

Calista, I think they all live on the same server here, so I don't see why that would be a problem.

Yeah, that´s what I thought - I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
