Image Copyright

All images on thetoastykitchen.com are automatically covered by copyright protection and are additionally registered with the US Copyright Office. If myself or Pixsy (an image theft protection company I work with) find my photographs used to promote someone else's business, they will take legal action on my behalf.

How copyright works

Did you know that copyright protection is automatic in the US (and another 180 countries around the world)? This means that all photographs are automatically copyrighted by whoever took them - you don't have to register a copyright for it.

If you don't have explicit permission to use a photograph you've found, you don't have the right to use it. Unless you're specifically searching a database of public domain images, assume that all images you see online are copyrighted. Google shows copyrighted images in their image search. Google is not a database of public domain images.

Additional information

Here are a few articles with more information on copyright protection and how it works:

  • Copyright Laws: 6 Best Practices For Legally Using Google Images

Featuring work with credit
