Hi,
I am planning to make a nice AVS site, and would like to know if it is legal to use pictures and movies you found on the internet. I will also use sponsor content, but since lots of that of "faked" (acted), I would also like to throw in some really amateur content, like pictures taken on the street, or other stuff you can find on Kazaa etc.
Those pictures aren't made by me, and most people on the pictures don't even know they're on. Is it legal to use that kind of content (and make money off it placing it on my AVS site?)
Thanks!
Jacco

If you don't own the ? or have a license then you cannot use the images.
Public domain images applies to content shot more than 50 years after the death of the ? owner ( this has been extended now to 75 years recently ) there are a few exception to this rule, but by using stuff of Kazaa you risk possible legal action. Ignorance of the law is no justification especially is you are making money from stolen content.
