It's always a good idea to get permission. I knew a guy that had to pay a fine for an image violation once. You can always go to iStock to get royalty-free images.</p> <p>~ Alexis</p> <p><a href="http://DCincome.com" rel="nofollow">http://DCincome.com</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-528 Sat, 31 Oct 2009 09:40:22 +0000 watch gossip girl online 528@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Well I agree with you guys. For me, there is no problem with using others' image to other promotions. Just make sure that you do not use it directly and it is only a support to one of your main images.</p> <p><a href="http://www.watchgossipgirlonline.tv/" rel="nofollow">http://www.watchgossipgirlonline.tv/</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-514 Sun, 25 Oct 2009 04:58:44 +0000 ChristianStevens2 514@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>It can vary depending if the posted has the commercial liscense for the picture. There are services such as stock photos that you can have these rights, then you should be okay.</p> <p>I hope this helps.</p> <p>Christian.<br /> <a href="http://www.colodetoxxrinfo.com/">colodetox xr</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-489 Thu, 15 Oct 2009 00:36:30 +0000 ac compressor 489@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I have been watching this thread for a few days hoping for some answer Need to use some pictures myself. The owner of the photo never responded. Is it safe to use? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-483 Fri, 09 Oct 2009 17:22:18 +0000 ajfotos 483@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I have found this very confusing as well. I am currently using photos from CreativeCommons.org -flickr for non-commercial use. Several librarians are creating book trailers to motivate students to read. In turn, we are instructing students on how to create them as well. We are attributing the photographers in the credits and making a statement that "All images are part of the creative commons community" and we are the citing url. We cite each photographer in the order in which they appear. The book trailers are being posted on campus websites as well as teachertube so that librarians and teachers can have access to them. And as I stated, they are being created solely to motivate students to read. But are these citations enough? As librarians we are, so to speak, copyright police, and we want to make sure we are following the way it is meant to be followed and not leave it up to interpretation. </p> <p>Those of you who contribute photographs for non-commercial use, are we also supposed to be citing your license? For example, next to the citation of your photograph do we need to write -attribution, non-commercial, share-alike?</p> <p>Do we need a link back to your specific photograph, or is the link back to creativecommons.org enough?</p> <p>HELP! </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-473 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:58:44 +0000 diner dash games 473@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>It really depends whether the image has a commercial or non-commercial license and crediting the author plus a link in not enough. You should contact the owner and ask permission personally. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-469 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:57:33 +0000 Anonymous 469@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Can you differentiate a commercial license from a non-commercial license? </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-452 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 17:13:24 +0000 Car Parts 452@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>It's also important to know what kind of license the picture is under because if it has a non-commercial license then you can't use it to gain profit. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-445 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:45:26 +0000 anthonyroach654 445@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Well I agree with you guys. If you don't have any intention to use the photo commercially then it is ok to use it. But if you do, I think you should ask permission to whoever the photo belong, to allow you or authorize you to use the photo commercially, just to be safe.. </p> <p><a href="http://practicebuildingcenter.com" rel="nofollow">http://practicebuildingcenter.com</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-440 Tue, 22 Sep 2009 18:50:47 +0000 Game Server 440@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>When we say that a certain photo has a non-commercial license it means that you are prohibited to sell the photo itself. I'm not really sure about this but I think it's okay to use the photo as long as you don't have any intention to use it for commercial purposes. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-433 Mon, 21 Sep 2009 10:14:45 +0000 Early Learning Toys 433@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>@cmancre1</p> <p>I agree that it can be difficult to know what to do under these circumstances. But take the advice of others here and contact the owner if you can, because then at least you know where you stand. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-428 Fri, 18 Sep 2009 13:19:47 +0000 webworx 428@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>If you are making money out of the blog - it would be classed as commercial use.</p> <p><a href="http://www.businesswebworx.co.uk/business-website-report.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.businesswebworx.co.uk/business-website-report.html</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-426 Thu, 17 Sep 2009 01:33:27 +0000 hronstve 426@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I would like to agree with the facts that was being presented above. There were no problems on using directly the image if you don't use them for some promotions.Asking permission and giving credit to the owner would be the best option for you to do in order to avoid violation on the policies with regards on using someone's property.</p> <p><a href="http://helpwithanxiety.info/" rel="nofollow">http://helpwithanxiety.info/</a> </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-413 Fri, 11 Sep 2009 17:08:11 +0000 Tax Relief 413@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I believe that if you are not using the image on the site and not promoting anything using that image, you will be fine. But if that image links or has any part of promoting anything you are selling, you might have some troubles. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-401 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:33:36 +0000 Insurance Leads 401@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>That's true. Don't forget that putting a disclaimer is not enough. Direct permission from the owner is a must and it doesn't hurt to have a written agreement signed by both parties. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-378 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:40:58 +0000 Free Flash Arcade 378@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I was having the same problem that you do. I placed a disclaimer and credited the owner. I, however did not place a link but I contacted the owner and he gave me the okay. I suggest you do the same. It's very important to get permission from the actual person. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-377 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 16:23:44 +0000 Free Flash Arcade 377@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I agree with osorio. If a photo is licensed then it is considered as private property of the owner and using it would be considered plagiarism. Certain measures should first be taken before posting the photo. This measures include but are not limited to:<br /> 1. Asking permission from the owner<br /> 2. putting a disclaimer<br /> 3. giving credit to the one who licensed it.<br /> I hope I answered your question. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-364 Fri, 17 Jul 2009 07:30:44 +0000 osorio 364@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>I'm not an expert but I think the confusion is whether a non-commercial license is defined in terms of being prohibited to sell or distribute original works for revenue, this is well defined in such an agreement. Since your not directly selling the material then this definition is not violated. </p> <p>As for the placement of ads on the same page I'd look at it like this, if you've written content which is original and the ads are contextually served to that content only (which is the general case) then your not profiting from the photo itself your profiting from the content you've provided to that page.</p> <p>That's probably the best way to look at this type of scenario regarding secondary states of income involving the display of primary work, though this interpretation could be a little fuzzy at times. If you go ahead with this or any future publications involving pictures (I don't know about audio or video streaming though) try to contact the creator of the work and if they are for some reason unreachable</p> <p>I'd place a disclaimer on your website/weblog stating that if any material seen on the site is in violation of any agreement involving the licensing of or similar rights thereof then it will be removed. This way you at least show honest intent regarding the usage of such material. In the long run I think that this situation could be interpreted as being commercial and to be on the safe side I'd outsource 'commercial usage applies' CC agreements. </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-358 Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:55:26 +0000 Yagan Kiely 358@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>But you are however using it commercially (on a commercial website). For example, if an option of having the photo or not, having the photo would likely result in higher commercial success.</p> <p>A link and a name is enough. But I urge you to contact the person. I have all my photos on flickr with a non-commercial license, yet two businesses have asked to use my photo and I have agreed.</p> <p>If you get no as an answer, yes search for CC photos that allow commercial use. Still, however, contact the author to let them know what you are doing.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Yagan </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/179#post-348 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 18:45:02 +0000 cmancre1 348@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi, am confused with what can and can't do with a photo under cc.</p> <p>Example:<br /> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/valter/2187481842/" rel="nofollow">http://www.flickr.com/photos/valter/2187481842/</a></p> <p>I would like to use the above photo on a website to illustrate the area.<br /> The website sells transportion services online.</p> <p>If I credit the author plus a link, is that enough? Or I should search on flickr with the "Find content to use commercially" option checked?</p> <p>I don't understand what cc mean by commercially. Am not seeling the photo...</p> <p>Thanks in advance </p> http://forum.creativecommons.org/topic/171#post-336 Tue, 26 May 2009 14:10:35 +0000 hardeeps 336@http://forum.creativecommons.org/ <p>Hi</p> <p>Suppose I have a blog and I use a photo taken by someone else and licensed under one of the non-commerical licenses.</p> <p>I am displaying ads on the blog. </p> <p>Does it constitute a violation? I am not displaying ads on the photo itself. Hence the photo per se is not being used commercially. However the blog, of which the photo is a small part (appears only one some pages not all) - is used commercially.</p> <p>Please advise.</p> <p>Regards<br /> Hardeep </p>
