I am not from the hang them all group regarding IP infringment, each case is different, I am more from "there but for the grace etc". The internet and before that the BB's was a free for all for a long time, with masses of missinformation being given out, putting the genie back into the bottle is going to be difficult. We all received free image CD's some have been lucky and did not actually use them, some not so carefull, we (SME's) need to help each other, if in doubt ask for advice people are usually more friendly than we think. Enjoy taking your own photos and using them, apart from anything else its very satisfying Good advice and a sensible approach by taking your own photos, I am a photographer (but also purchase images for clients), unlike a lot of my colleagues I have no problem with people especially SME’s taking their own images or indeed using “Micro-Stock”.

The copyright issue is so important and, while you can publish something online in good faith, in reality the only protection is to use your own pictures. If you do use photos from a "free download" site, I'd always recommend making a note of where you found the picture and a snapshot or pdf of the page on the day you do the download. I guess that photographers starting an online business will publish pictures and then forget about the rights they assigned to that picture at the time. M That’s a great piece of advice.
