Hey Folks!
Just wanted to ask, how many of you here are well-versed with the media copyright laws and regulation governing the bloggers?
I did a module on Media L
The big struggle for me is the pictures i use. I try to use pixabay as much as possible because having to attribute images is a pain and I think it looks bad on the caption.
I couldn't agree more with you. I am struggling with my content because of this actually. So I just wanna get it out there and see what everyone is thinking.
I agree that attributing is a pain. It is a great idea to use those CR free images though!
Thanks for following me by the way. I followed you back. I notice you are into fitness, based on your profile. My blog is about running, and even though I am an avid runner, I am no expert in terms of coaching or research. So in that regard, I am fighting a bit to provide original content and have to paraphrase, mix-and-match from various sources and also used some of my limited personal experience.
I do my reading on scientific journals mostly and then just write what I found nteresting enough to remember. I will look things up sometimes to make sure I get my facts right when I need to though. I find by doing that I am pretty sure I'm not stealing anyone's ideas and am writing in my own voice.

Copyright laws and regulations - any experts here?

I claim to be no expert, but I am also familiar with the phrase "ignorance of the law excuses not" or in latin, "Ignorantia juris non excusat or ignorantia legis neminem excusat"
Be careful when using copyrighted images and content. Always give credit to those who created the content. For more info I found through a quick search of the subject, check out these links, as I found them to be helpful.
