Do you agree or disagree with this statement. Elaborate on why you agree of disagree.

If images are on the internet they should be "free game".


In my opinion if an image is on the internet, it is still the property of whoever owns the image because the internet is no more than an online marketplace that is accessible to the world. This means that others should not be able to sell images that do not belong to them; they should not be able to use the image to garner profit or sales such as in an advertisement. However I do believe that students or people who do not intend to make a profit with the use of images should be able to use images without worry or charge because it is strictly educational. By citing the image and following proper citations and sourcing, people should be able to use these images for free.
