    Is it legal if I copy images of some product form some seller/producer site because of an article I write about that product? It is a free advert for that company and I provide link source. Is it a legal thing if I even don't notify them?

    Many tech blogs about gadgets post many pictures of products- laptops, cameras, phones etc. giving link source, is that a legal thing? Or the truth is they first contact the seller/producers? -I don't belive in that because that is a big time consumption.

    Plx help
    Cheers

    If you don't own the image, you need permission to use it. Giving a link does not give permission.
