Is it okay to use random pictures from the internet?
If you are using an image that is not your own, make sure you are allowed to use the image, and cite the source of the image.
Using random pictures from the internet without giving credit is discouraged. You may, however, use photos from “free image” websites such as Pexels.com or Pixabay.com. All photos on Pexels and Pixabay are free for personal and commercial use.
Here is a post from @mindover that has links to many websites that have images you can use: https://steemit.com/steem-help/@mindover/don-t-plagiarize-images-here-are-13-free-and-legal-ways-to-find-high-quality-photos-you-can-use-on-steemit
Thanks for your advice. I'm going to ignore it.
He said before that he gets this stuff from various social media sites and other places and he's not claiming it as his own. But I agree that a link to the source should be included.
Linking to the source might be courteous, but it is irrelevant in US copyright law. All that matters is whether one has permission from the creator or whether it falls under Fair Use, which this does not.
Ya, I don't care about the legality of it, just makes it easier to find stuff if you're interested in it.
That's why it's done in scholarship, along with not implicitly claiming it's your work. ... I don't know where most of these images came from. Right now I'm working from a huge folder of clips. :-/
