While images publicly available online can be viewed, they are not necessarily free to use without permission. Only images explicitly labeled as public domain, with copyright expired or waived by the creator, have no usage restrictions. Other images may have licenses from Creative Commons specifying allowed uses, such as allowing modifications but requiring attribution or prohibiting commercial use. Resources are provided to search for images with appropriate Creative Commons licenses and learn techniques for using images legally.

2. Publically available vs public domain
• Just because an image is available
to you on the web it does not mean
you can use it how ever you like.
• If the image have been classified
‘public domain’ because the creator
has released it or the copyright has
expired then the image is in the
‘public domain’ and you may use it.
