RE: Plagiarism by Newbies: The Importance of Citing Sources and Honesty
Great article @wanderlass, all newbies should be aware of this but sadly many choose the easy route and ignore it.
I just want to add two other things regarding images
1 - sometimes CC0 or free images still require you to quote them, like this one I used recently, so always read the terms of use very clearly
2 - using an image from a newspaper and quoting them doesn't necessarily mean that is ok. Newspapers have copyright over their images or sometimes they pay royalties to agencies to use images, but that doesn't mean you can re-use it without their consent.
Thank you for this additional information @livinguktaiwan. Yes, it is important to always check on attribution requirements of an image. Like in Pixabay, it's clearly stated under an image that attribution is not required. If this is not clear, better research further. I am upvoting this so you're on top of the comments. This is great additional information. Thank you! :)
We're all just trying to do what we can to make this a better platform!!!
