RE: Copying Posts and Comments is Illegal
There are sites like Pixabay where sharing images is encouraged. The photographers who place their photos on those websites want the exposure, and they receive donations via paypal. Others sell their photos to other sites who offer them free to us, and those sites make their money from ads. But for the ones who don't then it's theft.
Thank you! Where can I find a list of sites that offer photo's to the steemit community? I will lean towards creating my own scene pictures.
I post a list every couple months... here is one https://steemit.com/steemit/@arbitrarykitten/don-t-steal-images-how-to-get-free-and-legal-images
I like that plan :)
Actually, a lot of those "free" pictures we can't use on Steemit. i.e. Getty has free use, but they need to be embedded and lead back to their site and we can't embed anything here. There is a lot of misconception about the use of pictures and the citing. I am working on a podcast and blog post on that right now.
Many images used here are actually not legal to use :(
Your sources are great!!
