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:

Appears obscene
Has a copyright tag on it
Has a watermark across it

I have, in the past, posted:

Signed images, which gives the creator credit
Images found on websites that expressly give permission to copy
Images found on websites that don't express any copyright at all

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.
