  Hi

  I have alot of photos from Google that says images may be subject to copyright

  I’ve already contacted law firms for legal advice on what to do. But How can you tell if a photo is copyrighted

  I dont wanna have to pay for licensing but at the same time i don’t wanna remove the photos either because it’s relevant to the 90s theme

  https://ibstayfly.wordpress.com/category/the-90s-are-all-that/

  I’m already aware of getty images but they don’t have these particular photos for the 90s theme

  But I know copyright is a serious issue. I just don’t wanna risk having anything happen to my site or end up in court or whatever

  So should I just remove all the images. Or are there other free image sites that I can use. But they won’t have these particular images that I’m looking for

  I know there’s nothing wordpress can do which is why I took matters into my own hands. But I just want a second opinion

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Yes but the photos I want for the 90s theme are not in the wordpress free media library

  https://ibstayfly.wordpress.com/category/the-90s-are-all-that/

  I don’t really wanna remove the images because there relevant to the 90s theme. But I know copyright is a serious issue. I just don’t wanna having anything happen to my site or face any legal issues like court or whatever

  Should I just remove all the images or use other free non copyrighted sites. But they they won’t have the photos I want
