Pictures (paintings, photographs, etc) are protected by copyright, for the life of the creator plus 50 years in most countries; the US and others have extended this to life plus 70 years. This means only the creator can copy, alter, distribute, or display the work, or authorize others to do so.

∙ 13y agoCopyright affects using photos from the internet in the same way it affects using physical photos: any use by anyone other than the copyright holder requires permission.
I can't take your photo from Flickr and use it on my website without your permission in the same way that I can't take a photo out of your photo album and print it in a book.

∙ 10y agoDepending on the specific text of the country's law, Photography is either lumped under "artistic works" or the even broader "literary and artistic works." Photographic works are automatically protected by copyright as soon as they are fixed in a tangible medium, which includes digital photos. Unless other arrangements were made, the photographer automatically has the exclusive right to copy, alter, distribute, or perform/display the image, or authorize others to do so, for a limited time. In most countries, the duration of protection lasts for the life of the photographer plus 50 years; the US and several other countries have extended this to life plus 70 years.

∙ 8y agoYou need the permission from the owner of the copyright. This is usually the person, relative(s), business or corporation that created the image, or owns the copyright. If you copy an image of someone else's photograph, for instance, and use it as your own, without permission, you could be prosecuted for infringing the rights of the copyright-holder. In some cases, the copyright has run out, and the image is available for free use - I think it is after 70 years, but I'm not sure.
