I have to be careful that everything I publish is legal. <BR/><BR/>James is right: take your own pictures, and you will have no issues. Or hire a photographer, letting them know how the pictures will be used. The photographer would hold the copyright unless you have a contract with terms. <BR/><BR/>Don't use pictures off the internet, because they are all copyrighted. You could get written permission from the website owner, but you would have to be sure that the website owner actually holds the copyrights and didn't "borrow" the images from somewhere else — a common practice on the internet.RM Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13703852142471742841noreply@blogger.com
