Trigger Warning: A screenshot is stealing.
It might seem harmless to screenshot a photo you found online, but photography is protected by copyright, and the images belong to the photographer who created them.
Using a photo without permission, even if you tag or credit the account that posted it, doesn’t automatically give you the right to use it. In some cases, copyright infringement can result in significant legal penalties.
The good news? It’s easy to do it the right way. License the image, ask for permission, or better yet, hire a photographer to create original content for your brand.
Great photography is an investment in your business, and the people behind the camera deserve to be compensated for their creativity and hard work.
Support creators. Respect copyright. Create original content.
