today i used google search by image and i see that the same image is going through hundreds of websites, i tried another image and it's the same, my question is if i googled an image then i noticed that it has no watermark does that mean that i can use it safely without any copyrights issues?
Here is the problem. Because tout often see the same image on hundreds of sites, determining who owns the image is very difficult. My agent and editor laid down the law a few years ago and no longer will we consider images we find on the web except for a few very special cases.
