while doing a blog, can we use any image from google image search if we give its original source link?
Its just not possible for me to aid my posts on variety of subjects with photos of stuff that i haven't taken from my camera.If i add general stuff pictures and write thier source link below it, can it be done i mean can i get into trouble.?
wtever i have choosen so far, not yet published on my blog.. didn't say anything atall neither that its copyrighted nor that its free to use. How to knw that. how come everyone who is blogging put only pictures of stuff taken by them as refernce point even if it means its a fruit that is not found in ur country, or of a sunset at a place u will never go etc.

If you have any profit making activity on your blog (Google ads, Amazon, etc.) you are running risks by using images if you don't know the copyright status of the image you are using. How you use the image and whether it is "fair use" is the key. There is an article in the sources of my answer that provides more information.
One way to avoid this is to use royalty free image banks for your blog. I've also provided a link to an article that has a nice list of 16 free stock photo sites for commercial use.
Good luck on your blog, and kudos to you for checking this issue out first!

You really need permission if the item says it copyrighted. Copyrights are not assumed, they must be stated somewhere, so if it doesnt say you can't , then its pubic domain. If its a trademark of someones then you cant use it.
use this info at your own risk. I am not a lawyer but know lots about copyrights and patents.
