Does BYC get the original posters permission to use the photo, or no? I would think that using someone’s picture is the same wherever you find it, whether it be on a website or on google images.These pictures used aren't random pictures on the internet...they are pictures someone here on BYC uploaded to the site.
If you upload your own pictures here on BYC...BYC can use them without "crediting' you.
Read the rules.
I think it is a bit wrong to be able to use someone’s picture for a website without their permission or crediting them, as it seems like the website’s trying to pass the pictures off as their own, but if it’s in the rules there really isn’t anyway to prevent your picture from being used without your permission or credit besides just not posting them.
I was just trying to see if BYC could make it so they credited the owners of the pictures they used on their homepage, as we are really sensitive about using images that aren’t yours without asking for the owners permission and crediting them on here, and it’s really upsetting to have your work being used without you getting credit for creating it, or without you giving permission to have them use it in the first place.
