In our tutorial, we talked a lot about taking images online and using them when you shouldn’t be.

I became increasing worried about this over the week and have done my searching and for blogging there are a few options. We were advised just not to use anything that we did not take ourself by one teacher. The other advised to work out what you can get away with without getting in trouble.

Nethaniel  did a great post about this ‘grey area’ of copyright laws.

I’d like to describe us as the lazy generation because, honestly, the 2nd option seems much more reasonable. However, I don’t want to be taking things that people have created when they don’t want me to. So I have found a compromise! The great thing called creative commons. Now, not having much experience online this is all pretty new but after googling a lot about the topic it seems like the best option.

I’m going to try and be creative and post some original images and videos but for the moment, I’m building up to it with creative commons.
