Can I use a copyrighted image in my website?

You must obtain permission to use someone else’s copyrighted work on your website in Delaware. Copyright law in Delaware grants authors and artists control over their creative works, including how they are used, reproduced or distributed. This includes images. Using someone else’s work without their permission, even in modified form, is prohibited. Copyrighted images must not be used in any way without the permission of their owners. Even if you give credit to the owner, it is still copyright infringement if you haven’t asked and been given their permission. If you are looking to use an image on your website, it’s best to contact the copyright owner directly for permission. Alternatively, you can purchase copyright licenses or search for images that are specifically labeled as being in the public domain. It’s important to note that if you are found using someone else’s copyrighted image without permission you may be liable for damages including court costs and attorney fees. To avoid any legal consequences, make sure to ask for permission from the copyright owner before using an image on your website.
