I am inquiring about an image for personal use?
Federal copyright laws allow for "fair use" by individuals. clevelandskyscrapers.com supports the "fair use" clauses, however you should fully understand their limitations. You may use an image from clevelandskyscrapers.com as your desktop wallpaper/background on your private computer. You may NOT save images from clevelandskyscrapers.com on any online "photo gallery" site (such as flickr, etc.) as these sites offer for-profit photo printing services. You may NOT save images from clevelandskyscrapers.com on a publicly accessible personal site, such as Myspace. Alteration, cropping, or other manipulation of images is not permitted.
• Common Misconceptions •
Images need a copyright watermark - FALSE Federal copyright laws clearly state that photography remains the property of the photographer, with or without copyright watermarks. Images on the internet are free for anyone to use - FALSE If you download an image from the internet and use it in a for-profit manner (such as advertising), you are in violation of federal copyright laws. You are illegally using someone else's intellectual property (the image) for your own personal gain. You are also risking litigation should the photographer choose to recoup damages. The easiest way to ensure that you are properly using the images is to request permission from the photographer.
Unauthorized use of images from clevelandskyscrapers.com without explicit permission from the webmaster will result in prosecution to the fullest extent of the law. Federal laws provide severe penalties for violations.
