publishing a picture.

The situation is that we are looking for an image on the Internet to put on our future website. To approach this I would start by finding the image I want. Then I would go to the website containing that picture, so I can get all of the required information. Keeping the website page open, I will create a second window and go to a site that would take crucial elements of that image, such as the title of the site, the site address and the date that I was on the Internet. Then I would put them under the image on my website. But before I even do this, I must consider the source of the image and what I am going to do with it. If it's a picture that I took then I don't have to do anything. If i am going to comment on it, or criticize the image, the "fair use" policy, allows me to do this without the permission of the author. Initially all images that you did not create, require the you to cite your source, and most of them require the permission of the author as they are under the "copyright law."
