Identifying Copyrighted Pictures

Andha Spider allows you to upload pictures in the Pictures Section as well as for embedding in the Resources. You might be getting images from the web either from other sites or google image searches. Many of those images are copyrighted. Google mentions it in the side "This image may be subject to copyright" for every image. Posting copyrighted pictures poses lot of legal problems to you as well as the site. Moreover it is morally wrong to steal someone's hardwork. Thus you need to identify what are copyrighted pictures. Here are a few features of copyrighted pictures.

1. Few Pictures have watermarks on them, indicating that they belong to certain site or someone. For eg: see the "AndhraSpider.com" watermark on this picture.
