Images for your Blog
FeaturePics and it's Authors are offering free of
charge, images licensed under "Blog Use License (tm)" for the world of blogs.
This licensing allows blog publishers to use low resolution (130 pixel) images
without watermarks in blog/news content.
This new image license is of interest to anyone who wants to use free images
without copyright infringement.
We recently published information about a free downloadable PowerPoint
presentation about copyrighting in image licensing (Copyright
and Digital Images).
This presentation has been produced by The Picture Archive Council of America
(PACA),a North American trade association representing the interests of the
image licensing industry.
The presentation is "geared to non-lawyers and is presented in a clear and
informative way."

I quote a paragraph from this presentation:
Popular Copyright Myths
-
If an image is on the internet/Google it is in the public domain.
-
If there is no copyright notice on the image, I don't need permission.
-
If I don't profit from the use, I don't need permission.
-
If I remove the image after notice, I don't owe any money to the copyright.
-
If I alter the image X% I don't need permission.
-
If I only use a part of the image I don't need permission.
One of our FeaturePics Authors,
FlemishDreams, proposed to introduce a new type of license - special
image license for blog publishers.
"Here is a perfect solution for you. Look up an image that suits you in the
large quality-controlled database of stock pictures at Featurepics and put them
right in your blog post without any hassles and for free. You will have the
perfect image for your post!"
FeaturePics team used all means at it's disposal to research and answer this
request promptly.
