Can I put pictures from forums on the web into my ebook as reference?

Written by admin on December 4th, 2008


Say I want pictures from people who have posted pics of there fitness on a forum site. And they post a results picture three month later. Can I use those pics cause they do not have a copyright on them. And can I put those pics on a ebook I am trying to write as reference pictures?

As far as I know you should be able to as long as you give the correct credit. If possible ask the person who the pics belong to for permission. Since they don’t have copyright there shouldn’t be a problem.
