google Options

i hate it when people have "google.com" under image credits or say, "i gotz alll mah imagez fro g0ogl3". because you didn't. because google didn't not make the images, but provide a search to help you find them. it's like stealing because you're taking any image from another site use it, but credit the wrong search. it could be copyrighted.

have any of you noticed this? it drives me nuts.

[comeupon]

Our teachers go crazy with that, because when people cite sources on research papers they'll put "www.google.com" Its amazing how ignorant some people can get

[MrElsewhere]

well you can take an image off of google, change it, make it your own, and that wouldn't be stealing. But I don't do that a lot.

why not? it's not yours.

[Nicolatofu]

well as long as you correctly source it like on a paper, but if you give credit, is it still stealing? does that mean that in order to use the picture, you'd have to contact the owner of that picture and ask permission?

[kellyannie]

if it's copyrighted, can they sue google?

[Euphoria Rose]

I know. It really does annoy me and just shows me how ignorant some people are. When I do science research for school, I go on Google to find a source for information, but I give the credit to the site source I found the info on, not Google. Google just helps me find sources for what I need.

[smthngcrprategrl...]

if it's copyrighted, can they sue google?

no you can't because google is just a search engine that people use to find the stuff faster.

[*x____duckii*]

I never even knew people did that till know. Just shows you how stupid people can be. People these days...Pssh..

i tried to put a picture of johnny depp on my birthday cake... but the cake people said i had to getpermission to use his picture, since it may be copyrighted...

so my mom was like 'sure ill just call up johnny right now and ask him' .. it was funny... but i mean.. i guess you do need permission. but i dont know

[jr0h]

it doesnt bother me

[LeSLiE]

I really don't care.. I also don't get what a lot of you guys are saying.

[HelloSunshine]

hmm...I doesn't really matter..but if it's from credits they should put the URL because then it's not really "crediting"

[sweetxsimplicity]

well you can take an image off of google, change it, make it your own, and that wouldn't be stealing. But I don't do that a lot.

Um, yeah, that would be considered stealing. XD

Yeah, a lot of students put like "google.com" for all their citations and bibliographies and stuff. But I never really see anyone put online "I got my images from google.com"..

[whomps]

That's why I try not to use google when finding images..

[*instantmusic*]

Google is my religion.

[xxruinedsoulxx]

yeah. some people do that. it's funny

[*xcaitlinx*]

google is god <3

[iheartsimba]

yah i know. it doesnt bother me that much though =/

[angel-roh]

hmmm i didnt really care about those, but you seem really right on what you said right there. i mean if i was a publisher for the writing i did and google is keeping my writing. and someone will use my writing and they will say "i got it from google" heh it sounds like the google is taking all the credits. hmm i never even thought of that, thanks for sharing. hmm i dont know if it annoys me right now but yeah heh. well my school, when we write down the source, we cant say google. we have to write down the actual people who did the statement writing and such. so yeah...so maybe it's your school whose doing that? cause my school doesnt do that. people will get a bad grade if they actually put "google" into their source lol.

[ghjgfkgfk]

^ i wasn't really talking about school, but more like images on layouts.

[*mona lisa*]

that's true but what if you made like a collage or something in the layout, would you rather credit each single image if they were from diferent sites or just google becuase you looked for it through there. i'm pretty sure that if you cite google and what you typed in, other people would get the exact same results anyway, so it doesn't make a difference.

[StarryEyedSurpri...]

wow ive never really noticed that but i can see how that drives you crazy...

[*tweeak*]

that is dumb

but i say i get my images from google. because you do get them through the search. even if they didnt originate there, i dont pay attention to where they actually come from. if i were to, i could say i get my images from any one of a million random websites, and that would be ridiculous. thus, i recognize the indirect source. im not going to say that google made the images, but really, thats how i found them

[D1SMANTLED]

haha so true.

[Just_Dream]

Yea, I concur. I get ALOT of the images I use through google.

But you see, the images that I do find (pertaining to a layout that I would make) is mostly found from a site OFFERING those images. Such as "IMAGES FOR BLAH BLAH BLAH ANIME!" or big red letters. yes, in one of the sites, BIG RED LETTERS. But I know that most people get their images from using google to search for them, anyway. MOST, not all.

But sometimes, it annoys me if they do say "oh yea i got it from google." If they were going to cite where they got it from, at least give a website.

But then again, most of the time I realize that all the places that I've gotten pictures from, have gotten pictures from other sources, since I often find blurry, low-quality pictures on a few sites that contain pictures of whatever I'm searching for on Google images. And I even find sites that have the original pictures, yet they do not say that they took it from blah blah or from blah blah. So, in my opinion, a great many of the sites tend to take pictures from another source(s) and claim it as their own, so you can't exactly stop people from stealing and editing and not giving credit...

yes, i definitely agree in that case. i would never credit my images through google, but when asked, i was say thats how i found them. besides which, if they made their images available on google search to begin with, then chances are good that they expect people to not credit the images, becuase not everyone thinks its important

[KissMe2408]

lol ummmm...it really doesn't bother me, i've got plenty of other things to worry about then google

[lovescream]

I always thought you can search google images or yahoo images and then take whatever you want.

I suggest you reread this entire thread, meaning you should read all the posts first... I didn't fully understand what she was talking about at first, but upon reading the rest of the replies, my question was answered.

She wasn't talking about that you shouldn't google up images... But that people would randomly cite under a layout that they made, that "0l-l 5l-l137, 1 G07 |V|`/ |>1X 4|V| G00gL3!" aka "Oh shiet I got my pix 4m google!" or something. It's like, no s**t sherlock, I get my pictures from google too. You know what I mean?
