Hi!

I don't know but stealing pics to me is taking them on purpose and selling them, making slideshows of them to upload on youtube (or other broadcasting sites), using them fo their own sites....etc. Basically just putting them on the net for other people to see. But is taking them for yourself is that stealing as well? Like to photoshop them or something. Is that stealing?
Can someone please help me? I came across some cool winx pics but the site says "Do not steal" so I don't know if I can still take them or not. I haven't taken them, I would like to hear other people's opinion on this.

Your help will be really appreciated
Thanks icon_smile.gif

No, stealing is only when you take someone else's graphic that they made, and take the credits off and claim it as your own.
I think it's okay to put the pics in slideshows and stuff, and as long as you credit the person that gave them to you, its not stealing.
Yes I think you can take them, but I think you just can't remove the credit off the pic and claim it as your own that you have made.
Hope I helped.

People always like to get credit for their hard work. You can't blame them, either.

However, I'm agreeing with Riiana that slideshows on youtube aren't stealing as long as you don't credit the pictures as your own (if you can't remember where you got them) or you give credit to who uploaded them originally (or drew them, took the pictures, etc.)

In any case, what you should do is leave the credit on, if it's marked. If it's not marked, and you want to edit them, just say "pictures originally by _____" editted by "______" That way you let the people know you did work them through on photoshop, but you still recognize the site you got them from as being the source you used.

That's my advice, at least.

Yep, either that or if you're going to use the graphic on you're site and you've editted the pic, just post the link to the site where you got the pic from.

I can't really say anything that hasn't been said. As long as you keep them to yourself, or credit wherever you got them, it's not stealing. Unless the site actually says "Don't take the images" (Which is pointless, because 90% of people will anyways) it's not stealing

I've seen so many thefts happen that I'm pretty lenient on this topic. Basically, as long as you don't credit it as yours and you give credit if the original creator asks for it, then it is okay.

Some sites have stated that credit is optional.
Some sites or people don't even say anywhere that they need credit and then get furious when someone doesn't give credit so it is better to give credit to be safe.
