NEED A BLOG PHOTO? -- Meghan Ward: “When I teach blogging and social media classes at the San Francisco Writers’ Grotto, students frequently ask me, “Where can I get art for my blog? Can I just Google images and use those?” The answer is yes, you can, but no, you may not. Why? Because any image you find on the Internet may be copyright protected, the only way to be sure you are avoiding copyright infringement (ie breaking the law) is to either use images with a Creative Commons license or to purchase them through a stock photo or clip art website.

TAKEAWAY: since the revision of the Copyright Law in 1976 says that ‘the moment you click the camera’s shutter –you own the copyright to that photo. It’s not necessary or required that you ‘register’ your picture with the Copyright Office, (at this writing, $45) but if you do, the infringement compensation is higher. The phrase in the above “may be copyright protected” should be edited to say “is copyright protected unless it is public domain or its term of copyright has expired.” –RE .

COLOR -- The first color photo process became commercially available in 1907, but photographers long maintained that color's easy realism was a gaudy distraction, fit only for escapist advertising and artless candids. SOURCE: http://online.wsj.com/article/
