The document discusses why it is important to attribute images used in presentations and other work, even if they are downloaded freely from the internet. While images can be found and used online, they still belong to their original creator. Just as written sources require attribution of authors, images should be credited to their owners. Creative Commons licenses allow image owners to specify how their images can be used and shared, avoiding the need to repeatedly grant individual permissions.

using

permission from requests
Image owners can apply
usage licenses to their images

8. This is where Creative
Commons licenses come in
