Hey everyone,

I intend to author a book which will be a study utensil specifically targeting certain select academia. I hope to use images to convey certain ideas and there will be a lot of visuals.

Are there pictures that are considered free domain?
Can I use a image that appears to have many multiple sources?
If I find an image I like on the internet, what cues are there to whether or not I can copy/paste this image into my format and sell the final product?

Thanks,
JTG

You should contact the author of the picture and ask for a permission to use it. It is their decision whether you should pay for it or not. And you have to credit the authors in your book as well.

copyrighted pictures are just that...copyrighted pictures...you may get caught, you may not. I've seen some free stock photo sites that have GREAT high quality photos (mostly generic and some odd...but) they are free and will fill your site until you can afford to hire a professional photographer to take pictures of your products.
