This document discusses copyright and fair use as it pertains to using images found online. It explains that copyright protects original creative works and permission is typically needed to use copyrighted materials. However, some uses may fall under fair use if the purpose is transformative, only a small portion is used, it does not harm the original work's market, and value is added. The document provides guidelines for determining whether a particular use can be considered fair use and reminds that credit must always be given to the original source.
