Question about posting images

8 14 March 29, 2024 at 05:20 AM
Hello,
I want to post a deal or two that I found online.

The question I have is whether I can copy the image from the website that has the deal and put that in my post here on slickdeals?

I don't want to get in trouble or cause any issues to the website.

I think the answer is yes because every post I see has an image taken from the website that has the deal. I'm trying to have a healthy discussion but isn't that copyright infringement, or does it fall under fair use?

you are more than welcome to add photos, if we get a copyright notice it won't affect you at all

Happy Slickdealing woot

Thanks SpaceCallahan,

I appreciate that! I will post away. I guess I am more into the ethics of it.

Is it truly fair use? I don't want to rip someones content just for rep points Smilie

I can't comment on that but what I can tell you is I can count on one hand deals that have been removed for DCMA requests or copyright stuff ( if you are not comfortable adding images don't worry about it QA will add some for you )

hope this helps if you have any other questions feel free to reply or send me a dm anytime

Peace
