Can I use a copyrighted image in my website?

It is important to understand copyright law in North Carolina when it comes to using copyrighted images online. Generally, it is illegal to use a copyrighted image without the permission of the original copyright holder. This includes using it on your website, even if the image is modified or cropped. If you want to use a copyrighted image, you first need to get written permission from the copyright holder. You can ask for permission directly, or you may be able to purchase a license to use the image from a copyright licensing agency. If you are using the image for educational, research, or teaching purposes, you may be able to use it in limited ways without written permission from the copyright holder. This includes displaying the image on your website as long as you follow “Fair Use” laws. It is important to remember that even if you have permission to use the image, you must still credit the copyright holder. You should also make sure that you do not include any false claims of authorship or ownership when displaying the image. Ultimately, the best and safest way to use a copyrighted image on your website is to either get written permission or purchase a license from the copyright holder.
