|If you take a photo of Bill Gates from a magazine and scan it, then add it onto your website, you are violating copyright. If you take that same picture and run it through a filter and then post it on your website, you are still violating copyright. If you take that same picture and modify it heavily, say photo-manipulate Bill Gates into superwoman, you are still violating copyright. If you take that original scanned image then use your graphics program to heavily modify it into something else, say a fractal image, you are still violating copyright, at least technically, although it would be difficult to enforce. If you make a thumbnail of the Bill Gates picture and put that on your website with a reference to the original, then you may be allowed to do so under ''"fair use"''. If you link to a legal copy of Bill Gates's picture on the internet using ''"A HREF"'', you are not violating copyright. If you link to a legal copy of Bill Gates's picture on the internet using ''"IMG SRC"'', you are violating copyright and also bandwidth theft. If you are doing anything significant with the photo, it is generally wise to get a model release signed by the subject(s) in the photo. | |If you take a photo of Bill Gates from a magazine and scan it, then add it onto your website, you are violating copyright.
