Fls -- ignoring attourneys and going directly to copyright law, Francemi is right -- it is, period, safer to always use stuff you create yourself. And, sometimes, something you take a picture of is not safe to use. If you take a picture of a particular swatch of fabric containing a design which is under copyright. anmd use that picture, you are in violation of the copyrights of the owner of that cloth pattern. It doesn't matter if you agree with the laws or not -- indeed, if you do not, then work to change them -- but they are the laws, and it is in your best interest to follow them until they are changed. The only time you would be safe doing so is if you did it for your own personal use and images that you never shared. Otherwise, you open yourself up to a potential risk.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
