When you search for an image to use in a slideshow or your school project you choose the first image you find from google, right? WRONG! Not all pictures are free to be used by the public. In fact, most images are protected by copyright, meaning you can’t use them without the owner’s permission.

When you use an image for your own work you have to make sure it isn’t protected by copyright and it’s free for you to use it. If not, you might end up having to pay the owner money.
