By Georgia Diaz


Before you use a fantasy landscape photos, make sure to check its copyright license. Not all pictures that you see on the web are free to use. Some pictures are copyrighted. If you can use the pictures, you may have to acknowledge the owner of the material.

But there is something you should know when it comes to using pictures that come from the internet. Remember that these pictures did not just post themselves on their own. They were posted by people and these people might not find it amusing that you use their pictures without their permission or without so much of giving them credit.

When you give credit to a person, you acknowledge that he owns the material that you are using and that you put the name of the owner's name in plain sight where viewers of the materials can see it right away. These owners allow the use of the materials as long as you acknowledge them. So an acknowledgment is needed.

Other owners of such materials do not mind that their materials are used for any purposes as long as credit is given to them. When unsure about the kind of license that the material has, check with the owner. Contact the owner of the material and ask permission if you can use the content or pictures for your own use.

If the owner agrees without so much of a credit for him then consider yourself lucky but if not, then find out what needs to be done for you to be able to use said material. The owner may suggest buying the right to use the material from him but not all owners are this willing especially if the materials are not for sale in the first place and mean a lot to them. There are people who take pictures of things and only want to utilize them for their personal satisfaction.

They do not have the intention of earning some money out if it by selling them to interested parties. But you can try. For a good price, then maybe you can change the mind of the owner. Sometimes, it is even the interested party who initiates the offering of a price in exchange for the works of the one who took the picture.

When this is, then make sure to read the information on its copyright. The legal terms and the details of the license might be too much for some people. People are not used to hearing legal terms and sometimes the legalese is just too complicated to comprehend.

This means that other people will not be able to take advantage of the pictures. So make sure that you are aware of the copyright that you bought. It is also important that you understand these rights to avoid troubles in the future. You do not want get suited once found out in violation of the copyright rules that you agreed to.
