I have a few celebrity fan sites. Can I use pictures that I find from the Internet as long as I state the source? Or is there some place to go to in order to find free pictures?
Photos are owned by the person who took them, not the celebrity. The photographer is the one who would sue. You need permission to use any photo. Stating the source does not give you permission. I don't think there are any free celebrity picture sites, but there are sites that offer these types of pictures for a set yearly fee.
Yeah, I wouldn't just google "Steve Urkel" & put those pictures up. A lot of celeb photos are from sources like TMZ and they are property pigs & will be sending you DMCA letters What you can try doing is looking for a pic that is in the public domain
You might be able to find some pictures of celebrities you can legitimately use for free licensed on flickr under creative commons.
