Excellent piece. I know for fact this is important. One of my young college interns found a great image and proceeded to use it in a newspaper ad. A month later, I get a call from the License Police telling me I owed $330. WHAT? Upon further investigation, they were right. I wrote the damned check and will never be so cavalier again. Lesson learned. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

β€œand it is only fair that you show your users an image that is tied directly to your commentary.”

Your super smart friend thinks this is the most helpful explanation of fair use she’s ever read.

Thank you for the mention!

I see so many of those β€œcourtesy of” captions!
