Here is a site I just found out about. You may already know about it but it's new to me. It allows you to download images without having copyrights, to use for any purpose.
Let me know what you think. Do you know of similar sites?

Pretty cool eye and possibly a great site~
ReplyDeleteThanks Jan
DeleteThis is the one I use for almost all of the pictures on my blog that aren't my own. (You can tell which are which because I credit Pixabay if I use something from there.) It has a fantastic selection! Another one is http://www.public-domain-photos.com/ but I like Pixabay better. It's really nice to have such a good resource, shared by photographers from all over. If you're looking for more just search for "public domain photographs."
ReplyDeleteI will check it out. I use Wikimedia Commons.
ReplyDeleteNice site Emma.
DeleteThat is really cool. I'll check this out!
ReplyDeleteHope you like it Martha.
DeleteNeato, I will check it out!

I know Kay. That's "so cool".
DeleteI know Kay. That's "so cool".
DeleteGood to know! I just steal my images from anywhere and everywhere. Occasionally I get a notice threatening to report me for copyright violation in regard to some photo or another, so I immediately take it down, with abject apologies to the owner. Maybe 3 times that has happened in 8 years of blogging? Good averages.
ReplyDeleteApparently I'm incorrigible compared to all the other goody-two-shoes who have commented so far. Sheesh. SIN BIG, people!
DeleteWe're not making any money from it so it's not really stealing.
DeleteIf no one sees the photo then it has no value, so we're adding value.
I guess the owner of the photo wants to get credit for it even though no one knows who they are or really cares.
Do you like my rationalizations?
If I feel guilty about it I'll give them credit, if I can see who it is.
But anyway there really isn't any great harm, maybe except if they make a living from their photography.
I often use wikimedia for the same reason
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteFantastic site, have been looking through it but could spend a lot of time there.
ReplyDeleteI don't like taking peoples photos to use on my blog have only done it a few times - mostly use my own photos and I wonder how many times people just steal them to use. I do know that I get emails asking can they be used etc. and that's appreciated by me.
