Photo Copyright Lawsuits: Agents Keep Getting Sued
You need a photo of a Gulf sunset to sell a beachfront condo. A title company you often use has a perfect photo on its website and surely wouldn’t mind if you use it – so you do. It seems innocent, but the actual photo owners are going after agents claiming copyright infringement.
We pay for all legally licensed stock photos for all our social media clients. I have a blog post with nearly 90 websites that offer free stock photos and videos.
Many of these photographs are free from copyright restrictions or licensed under creative commons public domain dedication. You can copy, modify, distribute and perform the work, even for commercial purposes, all without asking permission.
