Embed Breaking News Pics Without The Hefty License Fees!

Chances are if you're a small-time blogger you don't have the funds to pay licensing fees on your images - or - you use thumbnail images. Most websites either don't use images or they use images they find on the net and hope no one harasses them. Picapp.com has created an advertising based applet that helps you get around paying the fees for images and our friends at Digital Inspiration have a demo for you; check out the link below. Note: Picapp is completely free but the site is currently in private beta - use the following credentials (from Digital Inspiration) to gain access. Username: Press@picapp.com Password: 3475vh

Use Thumbnail Pictures and Don't Worry About Copyright Infringement!

You can use copyright protected images on your website as long as the size is right. Google was recently named in a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by Perfect 10 for displaying thumbnail images from Perfect10.com. However, because the pictures had a length between 80-200 pixels, they were considered to be in "fair use". According to an article in the LA Times, "Fair use is a defense that allows the use of copyrighted works, under certain circumstances, without the owner's consent." Resize any picture you want and post it on your website worry-free!
