Hello everybody
Is it OK to use images of products in your hubs?
Does it mean copyright infringement?
Even if source is stated?
Regards
The easiest way around this is to use an eBay or Amazon capsule which includes that product or products.
Any photos of products have been taken by professional photographers, paid for by the manufacturer - probably at vast expense. So strictly speaking yes, it would be a copyright infringement to use the photo. However if your Hub is giving the product a rave review, I doubt if anyone would object.
I am not giving a review. All I want to do is to show some components of machines. The images are available on manufacturers' websites. I want to use the images while naming the source. Is it OK then?
Then you should ask the site who owns the photos whether its ok if you use their sites photos. you are going to copy and paste so if you are worried about copyright then ask write to the sites and ask them
If you're an affiliate then most probably the manufacturer allows that.
I have pretty good success asking permission to use images from site owners. Even images of famous people... (although the photographer was very surprised when he saw what I wanted his image of the Pope for...)
@ ASHWINSPGA and Julie:
OK. I am going to contact site owners. Lets wait for the results.

A couple of weeks ago, I realized that I had not read the ToS about image use correctly and had to go back to all of my hubs and make sure the images were cited properly and were available through the creative commons. I see a lot of other hubbers that do not cite their images correctly and...

I find that some images need a full copy of the GFDL to be attached to the image being used.I would like to know from hubbers how this is done.

Hi guys! I asked this question on answers but haven't received an answer, so I thought I would try on here. I know that you are only allowed to use two images from each source, but I am hoping Flickr might be an exception! For me, it's where I get the majority of my images, and I'm certainly not...

I tend to use photos of Amazon products from the product's page when I'm promoting them on an article and just credit them to Amazon. This probably isn't such a good idea, but if the product is being promoted would they mind I wonder? The complication of course is the seller on Amazon might not own...
