It’s easy to find picture on the internet, but often it is illegal to use the ones you find. Here are a few tips on where to find pictures and use them without violating copyrights.
CBS has an agreement with Copydan Billedkunst that allows you to use pictures from the internet and other sources as long as they are part of material used internally in teaching at CBS.
If you use your presentation outside CBS, or want to publish it on the Internet, you may want to look for pictures that are published under Creative Commons licenses.
CBS library recommends Pixabay, a free image site containing images licensed under Public Domain. This means that you may use and even edit the images without asking permission.
Flickr is another great place to find free images. Here you must be aware of the CC license the image is available under. The licenses determine whether you can make changes to a picture or use it commercially. Always remember to credit the creator.
You can of course avoid this bother by paying for your pictures. There are many great image sites including sites like Shutterstock and Colourbox, where you can subscribe or purchase from time to time.
