Is That Photo Copyrighted?

by Patricia Bradley, @PTBradley1

How much do you know about copyright? While I am not a lawyer and nothing in this post constitutes legal aid, I have learned a few things about the subject.

Picture this scenario. You find a photo on Pinterest that fits your blog perfectly, so you right-click it to download and then insert the photo into your post. Or maybe you Google free fonts and your search takes you to a royalty free site and you find just font you’re looking for to put on your meme so you download it. Have you committed copyright infringement? (And by the way, Royalty Free does not mean free, but more on that later.)
