Finding good illustrations and other resources is a challenge and the question always is: Am I allowed to use this resource? When you find a resource trough a search engine it may appear to be free of copyrights, but very often it isn’t. This post contains a short description on the rules of copyright and a list of websites with resources that you are allowed to use.
The save way is to ask the creator for permission to republish his work. If you use work without permission you might be infringing on the copyrights. There is a ‘fair use’ rule. You are allowed to quote or use small parts of the work with the proper attributes, without asking permission or infringing on the copyrights. But that is for non-commercial usage only. The moment you have a commercial goal, the fair use rule does not apply. Barbara Waxer added these instructions:
Creative Commons is an organization which supports free and open content. It enables a creator (of images, courses, music, videos) to get registered as the owner/creator of the resource but at the same time grants other people the right to use this resource. If you create something you can add a CC license (there are several options), allowing others to reuse your work (of course with proper attributes to you the creator). This also means that if you find CC licensed resources through a search engine, you know that you are allowed to use that. This blog is published under CC, as you can see in the side bar. A Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. This license means you are allowed to use, reuse, change and share all the information in this blog, as long as you recognize me as the author. Another license is the GNU license, that is mostly used for software but also other resources like images and videos. Work under GNU license may be reused, shared and changed, so that is save as well. Before you use any image, audio, video or text file, make sure you are allowed to use it and always attribute the creator.
I got a lot of responses on this post. Some people are suggesting other websites for copyright free images and other resources. If you have suggestions, please add a comment with these websites or tweet me @kasperspiro. I will add them to the list.
A great tip from Margie Shiels: If you use Google (or Bing) for an images search, it is possible to filter your results by usage rights.
