Can I use artist images in my slide video?

[joe @ ewClub]

Hi, I have a doubt and would like to seek your guys opinion.

If I'm going to create a video about "Top 10 Popular Actors in Malaysia", can I search these top 10 Actors' pictures in Google or Wikipedia or news portal, then used them in my video slides?

Is this legal?

Anyone can guide me in legal issue?

Many thanks!

Besides artist images, can I used branded product images for my "product comparison" video? Any members can give me some input? Thanks ya!

Hello,

It depends if the photos of these artists are copyrighted or not. you can go a website search.creativecommons.org which will let you search the web for pictures to legally to use.

As far as branded product images it depends what you are asking. Are you meaning the images of the product from a website or do you mean taking a photo of a product?
