What is copyright infringement?
With artwork, copyright infringement usually means that
copyrighted artwork has been displayed, modified, distributed,
or reproduced, without permission from the artist (or copyright

copyright infringement and it is illegal.

statement with each image?
No. Images can not be used without prior written permission from

I saw your images on another site without a copyright
notice, can I use those images?
No. An image does not have to have a copyright notice or symbol
displayed with it in order to be copyrighted.
What happens if I get caught using copyrighted work?
Many different things could happen. In some cases you will just
be asked to stop and that will be the end of it--if you stop. In
other cases your website may be disabled temporarily or
permanently, you could be sued, fined thousands of dollars
and/or sentenced to several years in jail.
Remember most artwork is copyrighted, even if you can't see a
copyright notice. So if you are not 100% sure that you have
permission, don't use it!
