Be careful of the images you use on your websites

I've just discovered an image I created being used on another site by a fellow WA member. The image isn't in creative commons and wasn't attributed in any case.
Now of course, I am not going to make them take it down (I've just asked that they link to my site).
But remember that you can't just use any image you find online. Find images in the public domain, that are creative commons images (and attribute) or pay for images. Or create your own
I've heard stories of people being sued for a fair bit for using images they weren't supposed to be.
Just a word of warning.
