Re: Images and website links
No, generally you can not copy other web sites w/o permission. Copyright does not require that a notice be given.
As for links, you generally can link to other sites, but the law is not entirely clear about linking to internal pages of a site. If there is nothing to the contrary in the terms of use for that site, linking should be OK provided you make it clear that it is the other site, not yours.
