How can I use a picture of movie stars, models, or rock bands for my profile picture?

How do you know if the picture is copyrighted or not? I had a picture of a model and movie star but was told that it could be copyrighted and to remove it so I took that actor and movie star pictures down. Are there pictures of models or actors that can be used here for a profile picture? What if you get the picture from a website that has the same picture as a free wallpaper?

Answer #1

find the pcture you want, or go to google pictures to make it easier, the save the picture (left click,then save picture as) then when you go to add a picture it should come up with all your other pictures to choose from

Answer #2

You can use the photo, so long as you label it accordingly - taking a photo of someone else and titling it “me” is a clear violation. However, if you want to ensure your photo is free use, use this search engine: http://funadvice.com/r/bef1068dlha

Answer #3

Most of those pictures are copywritten. I prefer to create my own images rather than be seen as an imposter, as well. I am only pretending to be someone that you don’t already know.
