Copyright vs. Fair Use
A member on my boards submitted this. I'm kinda new, so I don't really have an answer. Also, I would like to know.


Quote:
I have a question about ownership of random images as posted to forums & free sites. I know its sticky stuff here without an agreement as to who owns the copyright. Does a woman who takes a picture of herself & up loads it too a public site still own that image? What if the site owner puts his logo on it? Is it always true that unless it is in a written contract the person who created the artwork owns the rights?
I know anyone can sue anyone, but what if they're are no visible or digitally encoded copyrights on any of their images? Some people who post images lead us to believe that they wish for their images to be distributed. Can you cover your ass by removing copyrighted works when informed of infringement?
I have a idea for a site niche, but leary of copyright laws as most images would be from the web. "I cannot see how one could get a agreement from everyone. "
Also I was told when the government goes after pornographers they prosecute mostly on copyright infringements? Anyone know about this?
I am looking for some sort of working knowledge about where the line is & how to know if you step over it?
Then there is the whole community standards shit. If someone downloads a image in Blue Balls, Ala. and is upset by content can they fuck with me as the site owner over copyright?
and what about Google? Sure it's a search engine, but is it still not a webpage? It loads in my browser on an image search. Who gave google the right to thumbnail peoples shit?
