Stealing pictures

Just a head's up for people who regularly post pictures that aren't theirs in their KT posts (and I have seen this MANY times - usually repeat offenders) without getting permission from the original owners or giving any kind of credit. You can get sued for that. It's unlikely but it happens. Sometimes even credit isn't enough if it is copyrighted, though most bloggers I have seen will give permission if properly credited/linked. But posting it as your own without any kind of source/credit/permission can get you in trouble.

It doesn't matter if you didn't know, or if you saved it to your own photo site, or if you just found it in Google Images and thought it was okay. It's still theft if you didn't get permission.

Just wanted to put that out there as I would hate to see anyone get in trouble.
