What you want to do is scroll to the bottom of this page, where it has the “Creative Commons” fields: That’s not what you want, though, other than to type in a keyword or two in the main search box. To get there, click on “Search”, then click on “Advanced Search” just adjacent to the Search button:Ĭlick on “Advanced Search”, as I said, and you’ll now see this: You can just pop over to Google Images and rummage around with a half-dozen savvy searches to copy images without permission, but it’s much smarter - and more on the right side of copyright law - to identify legally usable images so you don’t get into trouble down the road…Īnd so, let’s pop over to Flickr and check out their advanced search window. It’s pretty darn important to toe that legal line too, actually. What Flickr has instead is the Creative Commons License, and some photographers have identified their images as acceptable to republish, and others have gone further and said that it’s okay to republish them even on a commercial site or withing a commercial context.
Now, to be clear, “public domain” is inaccurate. One of the few really savvy moves that Yahoo made in the last few years (in my opinion, at least) was the acquisition of Flickr and the fact that it’s a repository of publicly reusable Web sites is just another cool thing.
