Copyright is automatic, so it will be the date the image was created.
Owning an image or the copyright to an image are the same thing. When you hold the copyright to an image it is yours to do with whatever you will, and you can decide who has permission to use it or not. There is no difference.
If you wish to reuse a copyright-protected image, you need permission from the copyright holder or an exemption in the law.
The image is still owned by and under copyright by the original creator of the photographer who created the ORIGINAL image. Taking a photo of someone else's photo does not transfer the copyright to you (the iPhone owner).
With permission from the copyright holder, yes.
Copywriting an image has to be done with the copyright office of your country. If you have uploaded the image to Facebook or other social media sites, you may not be able to copyright it.
There are web sites that host royalty free images but these are still the subject of copyright. In fact, every image is copyright protected unless the owner of the copyright releases all claim to the copyright and makes the image freely available in the public domain. A search of public domain images may prove fruitful.
No, because there's nothing to steal. Using an image without permission or an exemption in the law is copyright infringement.
The images in Monopoly are copyright, which means you will need legal permission from the games copyright holders to publish the image.
Yes There Is!
To identify the ownership of an image, you can follow these steps: Look for any watermark or copyright symbol on the image itself. This may indicate the ownership or copyright information. Conduct a reverse image search by uploading the image to search engines like Google Images or TinEye. This can help find any websites or sources where the image has been used, which may provide ownership information. Contact the website or author where the image was originally sourced, if known, and inquire about the ownership or copyright details. Remember that even if the ownership is not explicitly stated, it is important to respect copyright laws and consider obtaining permission from the creator before using or reproducing the image.
Yes, unless you own the copyright to the image, or have authorization from the copyright holder.
