Posting Internet Pictures (that are not your own)

Now that I have gained a little knowledge about paleontology, I am able to add some insight into questions forum members have. In providing information, I usually try to find images to support what I say. My question to you is what is the proper protocol for "stealing" a picture or text when found surfing for info on the internet? When do you recognize the contributor? I try to keep posts from becoming long winded and cut info to the bare minimum, but I feel I may be breaching proper protocol.    HELP!!!

I would say if you know the attribution, good form is to supply it. Posting an image or a quotation from an academic publication would fall under educational fair use. The Forum complies with the DMCA, and so if the copyright holder objects, they can file a takedown notice. An excellent example would be many of @piranha‘s posts where he will say “image from” and supply the source. It’s a good habit to get into, and gives due credit to the author(s). Of course, it is not as necessary when posting a commonly trafficked funny meme. :D

Hi,

 

I think if you put a pic from internet and you add the URL link, you will not have any problem.
