Copyright is a difficult thing to understand and not all pictures are “restricted”, it’s hard if they are not marked or indicated somehow.

Here’s a link that might help. I don’t think anyone wants to deliberately cause a problem with copyright issues but this is something to think about when coping images, photos or other items.

Years ago I received “C-D infractions” regarding copyrighted article and not giving enough credit to where it came from.

This was about all I could find on the topic.

You're right, of course, Aks. I should have mentioned this in the OP. Do be careful, folks, about using copyrighted material.

Thanks for posting the tip Pam! I tend to download a lot of pics, including free wallpapers, for my computer desktop background.

Hmm.. I don't know Dave, I don't think that wallpaper will fit on my wall, I'm gonna have to see if they have wallpaper like that at The Home Cheapo..

Yeah, PC wallpaper wouldn't cover much of an actual wall, that's for sure!...lol.

Thanks Pammy!! I knew how to post from plain old Google, but I didn't know you could go into "images" to look for photos. Makes sense. This could be fun :-) This looks like Ted when he was a baby.

Go to Google.com*
Click "Images" link in upper left corner of screen.
Type name of image you want in search box (e.g., "shamrocks")
Find a picture you want to save.
Right click on the image and choose "Copy Image Location"
Come to your post and click on the mountain icon
Highlight the existing text, right click and "Paste"

Voila! Please be aware of copyrighting when doing this.
