Sorry if this is a stupid question :redface:

Is it ok to "borrough" pictures from MFK, to publish it
in another forum?
(Of course with referance to this forum)

Or would that be wrong because of copyright rules here...
Pictures from onother sites is published here, so I thought
maybe it's ok?
 
pm li:)
 
You can allways use a photo or an artical as long as you give the original poster credit.

Of course if they ask you to remove it then you would have to or if the picture or artical said that it cannot be used without permission you would have to get permission.

That is the way I'm thinking..

In the 2400 gallon thread the poster John say:
"text and photos Copyright 2005 John Marcus
Permission to use on www.monsterfishkeepers.com"
Then it's of course clear that I had to ask him.
 
I think when you contact the person the pic belongs to by PM and ask if it's okay, it almost always okay.

But you can always give them the link to MFK so that they come check it out themself. :P
 
I am guilty of posting pics from other sites alot, I find it helps me to see a pic if some one is talking about a fish and I assume others feel the same. I have been trying to remember to add either links or credits and really try not to give the impression that the picture belongs to me. I think that is usually okay.
 
you are legally clear to use any picture online, as long as you dont claim it as your own.

You cannot use any image as long as you get full permission from the owner/takee (picture by...) of the photo. Most of the time the owner of the picture will say ok if you tell them what you are going to use it for, and they might be honored that they have taken a photo that others like enough to use in artwork of their own.
