The number one piece of
advice: Assume it’s protected.
I'll give you other tips
below for you:
Just because its online,
doesn't mean that it’s public property. So many people have this false sense of
entitlement to anything they see posted on social media "especially
pictures".
If someone complains,
just remove the content for the time being. No, you don’t have to sell your
soul to every troll on the Internet who demands that you remove content from
your site, but you should take it down long enough to research to make sure
they don’t have a legitimate legal complaint.
Remember that always,
always, always ask first. If you see awesome photographs you want to post on
your blog and website or other social network, just ask first. Sometimes people
are totally fine with exposure as long as they are properly credited.
Copyright is a murky
area and you don’t want to get caught up in an unnecessary legal battle over a
picture or two. So save yourself some trouble and just take some of the
precautions.
