Preventing getting sued

 

 I read something this morning that is was a little scary to all of us that post on websites or blogs. The writer was talking about being sued for using pictures he downloaded from the net and used in his blog. Even after he removed the pictures ASAP that didn’t seem to solve his problems. He was still required to pay the owner a hefty fee.

I know when I was looking for pictures for the cover and the inside of my book I realized that it would cost me when my daughter said, “Mom after 50 years of hairdressing don’t you have enough of your own pictures?” She was right I had tons, so I used my own. It seems that might have been a great move. I am not into being sued or even threatened to be sued. The instructions sometimes are very vague on whether they can be used or not or how they can be used.

I hope this will help those out there who are not careful on what they copy from the net.
