It has recently become rather fashionable on the forum to post googled pictures without naming the source or asking the copyright holder for permission.
Can I please remind our members that the normal copyright rules still apply when sourcing material on the internet and that the forum as well as forum members can make themselves liable to copyright infringement. You signed up to respect third party copyrights when you registered with the forum as per forum rules.
If possible, please get the picture owner's express permission (especially for facebook or other social media sources) if you want to share on this forum or at least mention the source of your picture. "Google" is unfortunately not enough! If you post texts, please add the link to the article so that any citations can be seen in full context.
We'd rather not start having to delete threads and posts, as we appreciate the friendly atmosphere on this forum!
