Google images, can we use them as a normal stock image?
I like google images, and have searched and downloaded some of them in the past. Some of the images were so good that I used them to spice up an ebook I was writing. I also used them on my sales page.
However, my direct competition told me to remove my site as the images I had used violated the rights of the photographers who had originally taken the offending photographs.
He went on to say that he would personally contact the photographer in an attempt to sued me for using these images downloaded from google. I have therefore removed my site until I have clarified my position.
On google images, there is no information to say the images cannot be used, there is certainly no contact information for me to request the use of the image from the photographer.
I have never and will never claim these images as my own, and I have never tried to resell them. They are images I used to to illustrate my e-book and presumed they were available for that purpose. They have certainly made a difference to the e-book and sales page.
Could somebody put me right on the proper use of such images downloaded from google.
Many thanks, Gordon.
