Then it's worth big bucks! A picture is worth a thousand words, unless it’s a picture of a celebrity doing something stupid. Then it’s worth big bucks!

The safest thing to do is check Wikipedia for source images first, because they tend to get stuff under Wiki Commons licensing. I've been able to get some images from there that were copyrighted in most other places. Are you ever going to get sued? Probably not. But I just be safe about it because I wouldn't want anybody stealing my work either, and sooner or later I *do* hope to get popular enough for people to notice, hahaha.

From you, that means a lot. I use a lot of images on my blog that I get from Google images, but these are mostly screenshots from movies and such. Do you think there's anything wrong with that? I don't link to where I found the image because it was most likely "stolen" from someplace else, and it's impossible to attribute them to the actual source. What's your opinion of that?
