₦airaland Forum

So....I read somewhere on digital point forum that you cannot go to google to just lift a photo and put in your site. I am guilty of this. I used to get some free images from pixabay.com, but the picture reserviore there is limited so I resorted to google.

Wanna ask, how do you get photos for you site, since you could be served with a warning and your site taken down by your host if they get a warning from the infringed website.

Buhari just appoint PA for picshure matter,u dey here d ask queshion?u sef.

Its important o. You know one has to be careful with all these plagiarism things. Else one hungry blogger will wait until you hammer and then slam you with a copyright infringement suit.

Nairaland seems to be a playground for some of you guys, a serious minded person is here asking a reasonable question and instead of you contributing something reasonable or just read and stay mute, you decided to make it all a joke. Joker!

It depends on niche... For tech, we make our pics ourselves through screenshots. And sometimes from a source...

Ok, thanks for replying. My site is on women issues, news, lifestyle, and health tips. I get my photos straight from google which is why I'm a bit scared.

I think you can still get images from Google but what's important is giving credits.

You Google the image,
after changing the tab to images
You then navigate to advanced search settings on the upper right corner.
In the advanced search settings, there is a section for copyright and privacy settings or so.
You then tick options to exclude copyrighted images from your search.
Then save the settings.
This is best done on a p.c.

Ok, thanks for this tip. Will try it out.

Pixabay is a great site, but there are times when you don't get the pics you want and that's when I go to Google but no more.

pixabay is awesome... photopin designerspic
