Any policy or guidelines for posting images found on the web?
Does MobileRead have any policies or guidelines on which images can be posted.
Often, using a link doesn't have the same impact I want, so I post an image and or video found online at a myriad of origins. I use my common sense and don't post anything that:
I have, in the past, posted:
I've done a search on MobileRead and can't find this topic discussed, but it probably was at one time and I can't find it. Please advise me as I'm concerned with copyright infringement, as we all should be on MR, not just on eBooks but on images too. Thanks. WDE. |
