    Hello guys,

    I've been wondering where is the best place to get nice related / relevant pictures for blogpost? Maybe someone can share on how you guys usually search for related pictures or is there any techniques that i should be used to get the relevant pictures for my blogpost without copying from other people sites.

    Thanks

    Two options that I can see:
    1. Buy pictures from specialized websites.
    2. Just Google for pictures that you need and download ones that are not protected with water marks, trademarks, etc. It won't count as stealing.

    Thanks Holopainen for the tips..now it little bit clear for me since i was wondering where is the original images / pictures for the blogpost come from. If i would like to have unique pictures for my blogpost then definitely i need to invest into buying copyright image / pictures. Others feel free to share more tips if you guys have any other ideas.
    Thanks!

    The problem with asking people in forums for legal advice is how often they are WRONG!!!!

    NO, THE IMAGES ON GOOGLE SEARCH ARE NOT FREE TO USE.

    IT IS STEALING IF YOU USE PHOTOS (or content) FROM ANOTHER SITE, WHETHER OR NOT THEY ARE WATERMARKED.

    As to finding pictures to use, most bloggers either take them themselves or use stock photos. There are both free and paid stock photo sites. sxc.hu is one of the bigger free ones.

    No Harvy, it is a bad idea to search in Google. It is stealing and the owner of the images can request that your webhost remove the offending post and/or your entire site. If they want to really pursue things, they could sue you for copyright infringement as well.
