    Images
    I see all these websites using thousands of pictures and I am just wondering, how in the world are they able to find all these images and use them for free without getting in trouble? I know you have flickr and google and etc (with the cc rule) but some images dont show any credit or anything... And they post pictures daily.. I am talking about 100 pics daily on one topic too.
    News
    Everyone needs some sort of news article, instructions article, or etc... on their website. How does everyone go upon getting info to write on their sites? How does everyone do it legally?
    Website
    what steps do I need to take in order to make sure I have all rights to my website?
    For example...

    If I were to own "www.yourwebsite123.com" and someone were to trademark "yourwebsite123"....... would I have to give up my website?

    Whats the deal with this?

    Thanks guys

    They don't use them for free. There are sites where you can pay a license fee to use them.

    Well, they either pay (see above) or make them themselves.

    Simple: they research, or pay someone to do the research.

    Nope, because you had the website before the trademark was registered.
