How many times have you taken pictures from Google Images or anywhere on the Internet---without giving credit? Did you understand it's against copyright and it's STEALING to use images without credit, and sometimes without permission. When you post these images online, you are technically in violation of the law. YouTube and many other sites will not let you upload images that have been taken from Google images without permission.
