Copyright issues are hard to understand. When you find a picture from google images or another website, you must cite it in your work. When you use a picture from your camera, you do not have to site it. The copyright symbol is a C with a circle around it. If there is a C in the work you are using then you have to say that you are using it. Depending on how you are using the image in your work, then you might need to ask permission. As a student, you have certain ways of using images for a use related to your paper or work. As a student, for most in class projects, you do not have to ask permission to use the image. When you work for a company, then if you use the image in a presentation you need to ask permission to use it if it has a copyright symbol on it.
I hope this allows you to understand copyright laws better.

You should always cite the source of your pictures or information, regardless of if you are going to publish the work or not. If you are going to publish, you have to get permission from the creator of the work. Remember that if you get photos from a free website like Stock.EXCHNG you don’t have to worry about copyrights. Also, Creative Commons provides an alternative to traditional copyrights, with the “some rights reserved” copyright.
