Copyright

Copyright infringement occurs when you do certain things with a creative work which someone else produced without first getting the proper permission. Some examples of copyright infringement (this is only a partial listing) can include:

• Taking and placing a photograph or creative work online without proper permission
• Adapting a creative work of one medium to another
• Modifying, editing or using a creative work without proper permission.

What sort of things are Copyrighted?

The easy answer to this question is that just about any creative work you might find should be considered to be copyrighted by default.

A work is not required to have a copyright statement printed on it or near it in order to be considered copyrighted, so do not assume that the work is unprotected simply because you cannot see a notice written anywhere.

Also do not confuse the fact that a work is publicly available with the idea that it is public domain or free for use. Being easy to find on the internet does not affect a work's copyrighted status.

Basically, if you wish to use any of our images for any purpose whatsoever you must get permission from us first.
