If you used copyright images anywhere (including a website) without the owner's permission (for which he might want a fee to be paid) the owner could use the law to make you pay.
Copyright protects texts, images, and the website itself.
Materials are not required to have a notification on them in order to be protected.
Rarely; the images would need to be from 1922 or earlier. There are other complicated rules that may apply to images published prior to 1989. For example, postcard (or any other) images published in the USA prior to 1977 without copyright notice would be public domain, as would those for which the original 28-year copyright (with notice) had expired and not been renewed.
That depends on the website where the image was pulled from.
It is an image that has been put as copyright. This means others may not use this image without permission, or legal action can be taken.
Public domain images have no copyright restrictions.Creative Commons images are protected by copyright, but have extremely broad licenses.
Unless you own the copyright, or you have a license, or qualify under the defense of "fair use", or other legal exception, then it is a copyright infringement to duplicate or publish works that belong to others.
No. If you wish to use images from a site that belong to the site's owner (original photographs etc) you may ask for permission from them. They may require you to include a copyright notice under the image. Otherwise, you must purchase your own images from a photographer, designer, stock photography website, etc. or take them yourself.
The copyright date on something is when it was CREATED or first published, and the copyright lasts for about a hundred years after the author's death, so YES, anything with valid copyright date of 2002 or 1993 are till in effect. On the other hand, it is a good question whether a famous painting still has its own copyright and whether a photograph or digitization of that famous painting may have its OWN copyright dates, as derivative works of the original.
One may find images of Munnar via Google Images, on the TripAdvisor website, via the MustSeeIndia website and via the PublicDomainPictures website. One must seek permission before using any photographs published by others.
No. In fact, the opposite is true. Most of the images you will find on Google® ARE protected by copyright which belongs to their respective owners.
Reposting images on other websites and putting them onto your website is a violation of Copyright Laws. In short, Copyright Laws protect people from having their information, pictures, ideas and other forms of media copied. One benefit of copyright allows you, the author, to post your images and text on your website and then later see it on someone else's website and have them take credit for your work. In order to copy something from another website to yours, you must obtain expressed permission from the website owner/author and correctly cite the sources (that is, you must have a statement in medium from that website owner that you may copy their information, you can't just assume). The website owner/author may also ask that you add more information such as add a link or other text citing the website so that they may be properly recognized.
