Arrow Celeb Pics

[Lemme know if this is not the right forum for this post, I won't post any messages of this nature]


Hello All,

I am a big fan of movies and celebrities.
I am about to start a celeb fan page for my favorite celebrity. But, I need images for the foto gallery.
After some googling I heard about PUBLIC DOMAIN/ROYALTY FREE images and then I stumbled across some website which had tons of celeb pictures belonging to PUBLIC DOMAIN (As per the Disclamer on the website).

Is it a good/legal idea to copy those images and upload on my site. Or is their any cheap way out to buy those stock celeb images.

I understand no one is an attorney here and if some one is then I can't afford the fees lol

Well! any help is appreciated.
Have a good one.

No, I don't think it is good or legal to just copy photos from those websites. I suggest you contact the owners of those websites and ask them if you can use their photos on your website.

You could get sued, banned from search engines etc if you don't get permission... Better safe then sorry.

Thx, that's what I thought is a better route to take.

Hmmm, now I have to find a legit source where I can get celeb Pics from.

Search is continued and I will post the solution, once I find one.

Happy posting..............

To be honest, I don't think your any safter asking permissions.

If the site says that the photos are public domain it means two things. One, you can take them without asking permission. But two, the site is probably lieing and is just saying they are public domain because it doesn't have permission to use them and wants some kind of legal get-out.
