What every graphic designer needs to know about "fair use"
Everyone involved with designing web sites and creating illustrations needs to understand copyright and fair use. Even if you think you have a good grasp of the subject, you need to periodically refresh your view because it is ever-changing.
Here is a great, new-to-me source of excellent information by (what I assume are) legal experts.
I also include a link to The Center for Internet and Society (CIS)--a public interest technology law and policy program at Stanford Law School--that "brings together scholars, academics, legislators, students, programmers, security researchers, and scientists to study the interaction of new technologies and the law."

Thanks for this info! I will probably have to keep coming back to this because its easy to get confused 'bout the laws. I can't help but feel that no matter what I create...that it could potentially cause drama down the road.
