Picture Permissons?
Sep 1 2010, 2:28 PM EDT | Post edited: Sep 1 2010, 2:28 PM EDT
If we are running wetpaints and we use images off of places such as Google Images, do we need to get permissions for every single image? How do we tell what needs permission? I just found out today that permissions may be issues with images. What should I do with all of the images on my site if I don't have permission, do they all have to be removed?

A big thank you to anyone who can help me with this dilemma.
Do you find this valuable?

Thank goodness. I will try to credit sites from now on (sadly I could probably never find where I found all of the prior pictures).

Thanks for filling me in!
