Arizona copyright attorney Ruth Carter responds to a question about when an image is copyrighted. The image owner has copyright rights from the moment they take the photo - even if they never put a copyright notice on it or register it with the copyright office. Always assume that the image owner retains all their rights and they will seek legal recourse against you if you use their work without explicit permission.

If you’re looking for images for your blog or website, I highly recommend Creative Commons: [ Ссылка ].

You can read more about the legalities of social media in The Legal Side of Blogging: How Not to get Sued, Fired, Arrested or Killed, available on Amazon: [ Ссылка ]. About half the book is dedicated to legal issues related to copyright.
