Where can i take pictures from? Legal Issue

    One of the biggest blogs about Thailand has opened a classified section. Personal Thailand has started a its sell and buy section for people that are interested in selling everything from old shoes to a new house.

    When are pictures public? Is there any website like facebook or flikr that has in the terms that the pictures are free or i can take them.

    Same as articles you can tell people to take them you can also share pictures but where do i find them?

    you can use flikr pics but they require you to use their code and hotlink to their site. you can try google image search and see if you can find any image without any copywrite mark.

    Some stock photo sites offer free photos especially on the lower resolution ones. But if you want higher res you have do pay by then. Try googling "free stock photos" if its stock pics youre looking for.

    ahh flikr must use the code from them. Even if the user have said "share"? Is there no website where people can take pictures as long as i tell them where from?

    every photo that is unwatermarked need not be free , its property of the photographer

    I think the correct answer to this is flickr.com and the

    Attribution means:
    You let others copy, distribute, display, and perform your copyrighted work - and derivative works based upon it - but only if they give you credit.


    So i can take this pictures as much as i like as long as i have a link to them

    Thanks all for helping me

    Now how do i download the pictures from flickr.com in a massive and easy way?

    Don't forget even "royalty free" pictures, that may come free (some charge) for a link or acknowledgement, you cannot sell them.

    You can copy or distribute these, use them in public works, but unless it says you can sell (very rare) then you can't sell the pictures themselves. You could sell a product with the picture on it (like a cd) if it's royalty free, but not the actual picture
