to promote the progress of science, art, and intellectual culture by granting authors and creators exclusive rights to their original works
We can use any categorie in the website if it deals with coding.literary works (blogs, articles, text), artistic works (images, graphics), musical works, audiovisual works (videos), and software code.
To find legally usable images, use stock photo sites like Unsplash, Pexels, and Pixabay for free, commercial-use, or creative commons (CC) licensed images. On Google Images, filter by "Usage Rights" to find "Creative Commons" or "Commercial" licenses. Always verify the license details on the source site.
Google Chrome is the best option because that's where our webpage is being sent to by default anyways.
if it is not taken by anyone and it is an auto generated picture
via email, physical mail, or platform notification (e.g., social media DMCA alert) with a "cease and desist" letter or a demand for payment. These notices often come from the copyright holder, their legal representation, or automated infringement services, demanding immediate removal of the image and potential monetary compensation for unlicensed use.
Illegally using a copyrighted image can result in severe civil and criminal penalties, with potential fines ranging from $750 to $150,000 per image, depending on whether the infringement was willful. If the image was registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, the owner may also be entitled to attorney's fees and court costs.
Copyright protection for images is automatic upon creation, but to properly protect, enforce, and legally register your work (especially in the US), you should register images with the U.S. Copyright Office, add visible watermarks, include ©, metadata, and use low-resolution files online.
