Protecting Your Image

Well, not so much your image as protecting yourself from images. Where do you get the images for your website?

If you just grab them from other sites, you could wind up with a nasty Cease and Desist letter with an hefty invoice attached.  When you get images, make sure you have a license to use them.

Here are some generally safe places to find images:

1. Wikimedia Commons
   https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Welcome
2. Free Stock Photos
   http://www.dreamstime.com/free-photos
3. Kaboom Pics
   http://kaboompics.com/
4. Open Clip Art
   https://openclipart.org/
5. UnSplash
   https://unsplash.com/
6. ISO Republic
   http://isorepublic.com/
7. Stock Snap

Be sure to read the terms and conditions for each site carefully. If attribution is required, be sure to do so.

If you grab images from Flikr, understand that not all images carry the “use it for free, dude” license. Read the terms for each image.  https://www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
