• Public Work: a search engine for public domain images

  Looks amazing, is there anything similar available for video? The official creative commons search tool (https://search.creativecommons.org/) is pretty poor. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• AI-generated books create a dumpster fire on Amazon and Goodreads

  There are tons of them available. Here's the Creative Commons Search portal: https://search.creativecommons.org/ I tried Openverse and Europeana. Some of these appear to categorize eBooks as "images", or perhaps they are just promotional images for unfree books. Tens of thousands of results. Here's a Google Books search. I was unable to find a "search for license" type thing, but you can search for "Fully... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  When in doubt, use Creative Commons items. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Where do artists get photos of wild animals and landscapes to paint without getting in legal trouble with copyright?

  I’m pretty sure you’re free to use anything licensed under the Creative Commons for commercial purposes as it’s part of the public domain.

• How do I know?

  I don't know the first thing about verifying the authenticity of the license of an image, but there's CC Search (https://search.creativecommons.org/) and Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) to search for cc images. Source: almost 3 years ago

• Is a photo clue of a celebrity downloaded from a Google search fair use?

• Discussion: Digital collage makers! Explain to me how your work is considered collage? [digital]

  Free images online are images that have been licensed under Creative Commons (CC), which are public licenses. There are different kinds that allow someone to use the images for different reasons (ie personal use vs commercial use); a good chart of the different CC is here. (Sorry if you already know this!) So, there are CC specific websites I use (cc search, pexels), but sometimes I'll just use the license filter... Source: about 3 years ago
