Of course, it's not that simple, it needs to be legally copyrighted , but, it is common decency to ask permission to recopy a posted 'anything'.

Question is: If we link to a picture from another site, do we necessarily need to send a written permission to you before you allow us to post it here?

Most people on the net, generally follow the "common decency' rule that I just stated.

What about the sites that host pictures......such as Photobucket? That's linking, isn't it?

if you post a link to another site --then that site has to hold the permission of the copyright. and is not our problem--just make sure you post a site link not a particular picture link

as far as host like Photobucket---I am hoping you would only link to your pictures on Photobucket----and yes I said post a link as hotlinking a picture is no longer allowed----and use the common decency rule by not posting others photobucket links----and if you have a copyrighted picture on photobucket and link it here ---yes I need to have some sort of permission to host such a picture on this site.
