Why are we still being sued for pictures from free websites that we use to accompany our official account? Why should I be compensated if I write for free?

There are two situations when encountering such a problem:

1. Malicious fraud! Some companies pretend to own the intellectual property rights of pictures to fraudulently extort WeChat public account owners, using express delivery materials, emails, phone calls, etc.

2. The pictures do have copyright, that is, the website where you obtained the pictures is the first to infringe. And they have instructions that it’s free to use, so there’s not much responsibility! Don’t worry!

As copyright protection becomes more and more important, we still remind everyone to pay attention to copyright! But don’t let criminals take advantage of the loophole!
