    Hi Goonersfooty!

    It all depends. :)

    If you read the link Tellyworth offers, you’d probably realise that this is a generally highly dependent issue. So before you disclose the entire article, nobody really knows if it is an offence.

    One more thing for all… Different lawyers intepret cases differently, avoid intepreting their statements on copyrights as solid rigid ‘laws’ by words. Cases do differ. This is especially when online application to this field.

    In general, if your blog is commercialised (and it is no longer a ‘usual’ blog), but you can also ‘decommercialise’ the posting, and the use of the pic from ‘open resources’ are subjected to how you use it.

    Scope.

    Scope – it does NOT depend.
    If you take a photo from someone, unless they state it’s ok, it is defined as theft/infringement.

    Alot of the “borrowing” of photos and other content is not discovered, but that doesn’t make it legal.

    There is very little “it depends” in Templetons demystifying of copyright.

    You will find out how the law handles this, when you get a phonecall from a lawyer, and depending on how much money you have to spend on legal proceedings, you can dream sweet dreams of either save yourself on the “it depends”-doctrine or find yourself ruined. I am sure goonersfooty will go to the fore for us all.

    I don’t agree with a lot of the copyright stuff that goes on, there’s a lot of mulinational industries doing nasty stuff there. But they have a little more money than I have for lobbying and legal proceedings.
