Please note that I'm not a lawyer; but, have had a bunch of discussions with them regarding copyright in U.S. and Canadian laws. As AboutUs's HQ and main servers are located in the United States, that is the laws we must follow.

Images to be used on AboutUs must fall under 1 of the following categories:

  • The image has been released to the Public Domain.
  • The image has been released under the Creative Commons (without a non-commercial tag).
  • Using the image qualifies as Fair use.

Some great places to find public domain or Creative Commons pics are

  • Click the Creative Commons checkbox and the Find content to use commercially checkbox.

Fair Use

  • Promotional Items: DVD, Book, and CD covers all fall under fair use if your talking about the item. Movie posters
