You missed something very important in the OP's question. He said that his boss told him that if there's no copyright notice on the photo, that he was OK..." This is flat out wrong. The copyright exists for the photographer the instant the photo is taken. No (c) or other copyright mark has been required since (I think) 1977 when the Congress passed a major overhaul of the copyright laws.

While not free, I highly recommend istockphoto.com for excellent, high-quality, affordable images.

i am a web developer. and was told by my boss to gather images to put on a blog for a site that we are getting ready make live. I was instructed to search google and as long as the images had no copyright ON them, it was ok. I feel like I'm stealing.

Look for public domain photos, and also research Creative Commons - many photos and other works are published with a creative commons license that allows reuse under various conditions. Best of all, I believe Google Image Search, as well as Flick and perhaps other services often allow you to search within those CC restrictions.

To Quinton. Your sarcasm is plain stupid. If the picture is not important, why stealing it? People who steal any content make me totally sick and the only thing I wish for them is to eat fruits of their own crime. I simply can't imagine that some people actually grow up wihout a trace of moral in their system, do not learn the difference between right and wrong and think it's perfectly fine to steal other people's work.

I have a person using personal photos, without permission, on their website. I have contacted both the owner and the host, and nothing has been done. How can I remove them?
Thanks,
Eddie

Interesting article indeed. I had this happen to me about 6 years ago where the offender was stealing my bandwidth. I changed the referenced photo with an advertisement for my (at that time) hosting and design site. I felt vindicated! Then while on a chat board of a community I was hanging with, I made mention of this fact. Within minutes the advertisement for my site was gone! The offender was a member of my chat community. I tracked down just who it was and reported his offence to our moderators. Isn't revenge sweet?
