Legal Question in Technology Law in California

Copyright and Fair Use

I have a fashion blog where I comment and critique images. Most of the images on my site are taken from the internet so I'm a little concerned about copyright. I heard that as long as you are making a comment or critique about an image, it falls under fair use. I plan on making a revenue from ads on my site so as long as I'm not selling the actual image would I still be able to use images from other sites? Also, should I post on my site where I got the images from?

Re: Copyright and Fair Use

Your understanding of fair use is incomplete. Whether what you plan to do is permissible will depend upon specifics which you haven't provided. You should have a lawyer review your plans in detail before you take any additional risks.
