Interesting join date you've got there!Half-Cat said:So what should we be wary of? I mean, what about pics that have the website and/or artist but nothing that says copyright or has the copyright symbol, like you would find on the free parts of a site? Would those be safe since your giving credit where credit's due and kinda advertising the site?
This is from the forum's rules:
3. Do not post /hotlink copyrighted images or articles in their entirety.
Fair use laws allow some posting of copyrighted material, such as excerpts from articles and screen captures from movies, under certain circumstances. Please do a Google search under "Fair Use" if you want to understand this issue better.
In general what you described sounds ideal. The credit where credit is due thing sounds like the most important part, to me. As a sometime-artist myself, I definitely feel dismayed when I see my work elsewhere without attribution.
. I think Lit had a glitch, but I like it so much I haven't said anything.
