What are my options for using others' photos without paying a license fee?
-
I’m new to blogging (5 months) and want to use images other than my own photos. I’ve read about copyright infringement and have been scared away by people saying they got sued for using others’ photos. When I search for “free images” there’s still a license fee and I don’t want to pay right now. I’m confused. If I use a photo from Google Images and attribute the source, am I within the law? What are my options?
