Can we use Google Images on our hubs?
I see many hubs with google images and yet I heard we are not supposed to use them.
I have no clue about that one and I don't think I am using google images. I will follow the answers to that one closely! Thanks Carol!
i am doing same in my hubs,You can use it but don't forget to give source url from where you have got this image.
Images searched by Google Image Search aren't owned by Google in any way, so they are not exactly Google Images.
You can see at the right sidebar, Google specifies that images are subject to copyright. When you read Google's terms and condition about using images, you'll learn that Google is not responsible for images shown by its image search and any use must be met with the discretion of uploader.
That is to say, we must contact the owner of that image to let us use the image on our hub.
However, there are other free image sites that allow unlimited use of images because people already upload there for public use.
Google doesn't own the images they display after your search. They have respective sources so there won't be a problem as long as you acknowledge them.
Any copyright image without proler reference should not be used. Some images on googles image search are frede to use. When in doubt cite it.
If you use the advanced Google image search then you can look for images that are free to reuse and are not copyrighted (I have a hub about this if you are interested). Often there are not many that are freely available so you shouldn't use them unless they are specifically marked free for reuse.
That's true, but you must still go to the website where it originally appears, double-check that it really is free, then cite the original source (i.e. not Google images). If you read Google's instructions it says so - but most people don't read it!
What kksonakiya is absolutely correct. You cannot just use Google Images without contacting the image's owner. Most of the images that show up have copyrights and are not Creative Commons photos, so you must get specific permission. It's not enough just to use the url; that doesn't give you permission to use the photo.
I understand that there are some images that come up in Google Images, perhaps as Azure says, through the advanced search, but I haven't had much luck finding them.
I made the mistake when I first started at HP of using Google Images, so I had to go back and replace them all. There are so many sites with Creative Commons or public domain photos to use that I steer clear of Google Images even for those that are available to use.
Other than rgb and free digital images...??? Thanks for the great response.
Flickr (click on Creative Commons when you search), morguefiles, freedigitalphotos.net, pixabay, wikimedia, & more. Here's a link. http://search.creativecommons.org/ Check the Learning Center, too: http://hubpages.com/learningcenter/legal-image-
The sad fact is that most people completely misunderstand photo copyright, so most people are stealing photos left, right and centre. Using Google Images is stealing photos.
Personally, I can't just go along with that, even if everyone else is. To me, it's like saying, "I'm just going to throw my litter on the street, because everyone else is doing it"
As authors, we're upset when someone steals our creative work, so why should we think it's OK to steal photographers' creative work? I know many photos online are casual amateur images, but many of them were taken by professionals who are trying to make a living from their work, and I think they deserve my respect.
yes, you can use google image in your hubs but remember to add in the URL or the website that own the image when you add the image capsule.
That would work with Creative Commons images, but, otherwise, we still have to get specific permission from the author. That's why I stopped looking on Google Images b/c I had a hard time finding the CC ones. Do you find them easily? Thanks.
Wrong! You must first check whether that website will give you permission to use the photo.
Not necessarily. Many of them are copyrighted. Google doesn't own the images. I wish we could though, there are some great Google images I have found that would have been a nice addition to my hubs.

I have a Hub that used to get quite a lot of traffic from Google image searches but ever since Google changed their image search design at the end of January 2013, it has almost completely disappeared. Now when you do a Google image search you get a full-size "preview" without ever...

I noticed a Hubpage which suggested ripping off original content and putting it on a blog with adsense to make money. It suggested that you could use the same method to make the content for a hubpage. I know that Google will ban adsense accounts for these copyright infringements. ...
