Hi All,

I came to know few issues related to copy protected content and images and would like to clarify any questions related to this.

Here are some faqs:


  1. Boddunan terms and conditions restrict using copy protected material in articles, forums, Q&A and other sections of the site without prior consent from the original author of such material.
  2. Any image/picture that is available in on Internet or other places will be owned by its creator and may be licensed under terms of the license he/she use.
  3. Most of such material licensed under the terms that will not allow you to copy and use on other websites
  4. If you would like to use such material, it is mandatory to read the license of such material.
  5. If such material is free to copy and distribute, you can certainly use such material provided the license does not require any linkbacks or other forms of requirements
  6. You may find open-licensed material in websites such as media wiki which allows you to use the images. Again reading license is mandatory.
  7. It is always good to use the original url of the image to embed in your articles rather than uploading to boddunan servers.
  8. If you owned the material, please do not submit the material with restrictive license so that it will not violate the terms.


We reserve the right to block any accounts which violates the copyrights without any notice. So please co-operate.

Please let me know if you need any other information regarding this.

There is no compulsary to use images in forums or articles. without them also we can write. it is not manditary but we should use any copyrighted content and copy righted images. because the usage of copyrighted one will lead to problems and few issues


We should use any copyrighted content and image.. :huh: I think you mistype there.

Yes its not compulsary to use images in forum and articles.. But suppose we are using our own pics in articles here.. Then is it mean that we can't use those pics on any other site.. :huh:

If you are the owner of the image, it is your right to use it. However if you force any license on any other website and that particular license contradict the usage on boddunan, it is not allowed.
Got it Admin.. Thanks for clearing doubts on this thing.

One silly question how do we know that the image which we are going to use is copyrighted? :silly:
Asked to Sunil about this. He is expert in finding the copyrighted images. He will guide you.
Normally my experience has been copyrighted images are not downloadable and if one is at all it has a restricted size. One of my photographer friends of national and international standing friends has enlightened me about this. I am also studying the copyrights act to know the exceptional cases where such uses are permissible.I would shortly let all know! Let us all be driven the relevant knowledge in this regard not unnecessary panic!

May be he can help me out. :whistle:

I think i should know it otherwise i too can get in trouble BTW i have thought not to use any image on the articles. :woohoo:
Ha ha.. But that way your earning will also decrease for those articles.. So try to capture your article related images by your self like sunil used to do.. ha ha

Actually I wanted to say same in my thread that copyrighted content is not downloadable until you are registered member.
I feel its better not to use images any more which take us to problems

But from my experience i have seen if i don't use images in the articles i get less cash credits. :)
It is true SJ.. Without images our cash credits gets decrease... That's why find sites which are offering copyright free images.

Which is this site? :ohmy:

I think most of the sites don't accept it. :)

I have seen in TRIOD they have collection of pictures which we can use on our articles. :)
Yes that's the best part of Triond .. they directly give the images related to our article...

http://www.freedigitalphotos.net/

You can get free pics from here.. But for using those free sites you have to give credit to the maker (just put the credit to: autoher name) below the image on your article..

Thanks for sharing it Anand i will use images from here for my articles. :)
Yes you can do it.. And when you are downloading images from here just read it that to whom you need to give credit....
Sanjeev, if content is 100% good and there is no image. then upon 100 you may get 90 or 85.I think this is not a big deal
That's true.. But getting those 90 to 85 is not that easy.. Specially for us who have just started article writing.. Ha ha

I too agree with Anand for me getting 80~90 is not that easy.I am just a beginner. :)
Same here SJ.. So far my highest cash credit for article is only 30 rs...
