Hi, If I download images from a website which does not have any copyright statements, Can I use it on my site without any trouble?

not necesarily, just because the copyright isn't stated, doesn't mean it isn't there. you should contact the owner of the website and ask for permission. If permission is granted then you can use it.

Regardless of whether or not their is a copyright notice on an image, that image *is* copyright protected. Anything written, designed, photographed, etc is automatically protected the moment it is created, so unless you made it yourself, you have to get permission.

Mike: Very true.
As soon as a file is put on the web, it is as Frontpage like to call it, Published. Therefore you will need permission by the website administrator.

what if a site says that people can download its image collections for free?
And it's collections might from other sites which I do not know. I can not get hold of the site owner.
The other related question is whether there will be copy right issues if I take pictures of toys? like the famous mouse.
Thanks in advance

There are some sites that offer free pictures that you can use on your websites, and those are legal. If you cannot get a hold of the owner of the pictures, then you can still not use them.

another good way to make sure that nobody else can use your images (if they're of your own design) is to register them...you don't have to register them for them to be copyrighted...but it doesn't hurt to make sure that if the need arises, you can legally retain them... here's a good link for you to get some information, and even register items/imageskeep in mind that there's a fee for registering copyrights though... |

On the issue of copyright.. I know you have a 99.937% lager to 0.063% blood ratio Garvey, so that probably makes you a MAJOR shareholder but  Should you be using your avatar  |
