RE: If You Publish An Image, You'd Better Own The License For It
Very useful stuff. I'll avoid those watermarked images in the future. I think I may have used one or two in my posts.

I have been surprised at how few people knew about the copyright issue, @drakos . To begin with, I was going to make a post fussing. Then I realized--wow! People really need the information first.
Well one reason I didn't use watermarked pictures is because the watermark is annoying lol. But that copyright issue makes me think twice. It's difficult though to judge what pictures are copyrighted or not, especially if they're not watermarked. I mean if I look for a lion image and get a ton of results on google, I'm not going to seek all its history to find out if I can use it or not! It would be an endless loop.
Yeah, that's not really the way to go about it. Try pixabay next time. Lions, for example. There are 26 pages of lion photos to choose from. And ALL are public domain.
