Copy and pasting an image is the easier thing I learned to do on a computer. It's quicker than scribbling a mess on a sheet of paper and you can move things around easily. Little did I know, such a simple task could cause trouble and be considered "stealing" if taken from other websites.
As part of our task in class we were to read and become familiar with copyright. I am shocked that I have never been introduced to something like this before now. We generally have a blurb about it at the end of a class syllabus which says if you're caught copying the work of others you will be kicked out of class and possibly the University. With that being said I thought they would have gone into more depth knowing now that even something as simple as copying a google image can be against the law.
I am glad that I now know to give credit to whoever provides me with the photo and knowing how to link each picture is a simple task.
