I need help with some questions answered about copyright infringement

[Geoff]

Actually, I've found that there is a wealth of images that are available for use on the web. For example, need a star or space image? NASA photographs are generally not protected by copyright. See


http://www.nasa.gov/audience/formedia/features/MP_Photo_Guidelines.html


Need an aerial or satellite image of aparticular area? The US Geological Survey has a nice site were you can down-load images.


Just make sure to read the fine print.


Hope this helps,





Geoff

I don't know the specific brand name of the software but there are companies that sell it. I remember seeing one advertised not long ago but did not look at it long enough to remember any details.


"Many corporations have programs called "spiders" that will search out images
and text on Web pages. If it matches the criteria (same file name, content
matches, and other things), they will flag that site for review and it will
be reviewed for copyright infringement. These spiders are always surfing the
net, and new companies are using them all the time." Quote taken from the website: www.webdesign.about.com
