RE: Use of Images on Film and Book Reviews

in CineTV2 years ago

I have found that the majority of Hive users are grossly unfamiliar with Fair Use doctrine of copyright law. There are clear cut exemptions from copyright law, especially as it pertains to criticism, commentary, and news reporting. The use of movie posters and imagery from movies is absolutely acceptable as long as that is not the main focus of an article and if it is properly sourced.

What is considered properly sourced? I'd not call a link to Google being properly sourced.

I agree 100% that a Google link is NOT properly sourced. The author needs to source it from the original site were the image was published.
