Copyright
Am I allowed to rehost and display copyrighted pictures? I would not be interested in selling the pictures, but I would perhaps be interested in putting ads such as adsense on my site.
Sincerely,
ekeak

You're hotlinking to the image, which takes up the bandwidth of the other site. At the very least, that's unethical. They can pull the images and you're left with nothing. Also, you're implying that the images are yours to do with as you please. That's the illegal part. You don't own the images.

Would it be any different if I rehosted them (taking up my bandwith) and put "Images taken from wherever" at the bottom?

no - you still need permission to show them...

ok, in that case, I'll see if they're really copyrighted (which I assumed, but I haven't checked them anyway) and if they are, I'll remove the pictures and only have the videos. Thanks.

Ekeak - they are always copyrighted (copyright is inherent in creation)... the assumption should be that you do not have permission to display or distribute - and you should get permission before you do either (if there is a statement at the source of the image saying you can share/display, then that is permission - although be careful of caveats like "no hotlinking").

So what about images u find on internet? for example on Google images and put it on your site? Do you have to ask for every single image u want to copy?
If image is copyrighted it should have meta tags written in it. What if it does not? Can i still be sued for using it?

You have to ask for every image you copy or you can be sued, yes. As for having meta tags on the images, not all people do that, especially for older images. Your best bet would be to get either royalty-free or public domain images from a reputable source and pay the copyright fees.

you'll notice that google image search only displays a thumbnail of the original iamge and then links you to the original page where the image is located - that is okay under 'fair use' rules...
but if someone complains about even a thumbnail of their image being included in the search results, they can raise it with Google and they will remove it - so you need to be ready to do that too if people don't want you to use their image.

Copyright isn't automaticly on anything... The watcher/user/person has to be able to see the copyright notice, and really be able to see it, not just some guess-the-url-to-the-copyright-notice thing...
It's the same as if I told you it was illegal to say the word "Copyright" without having bought a license... You couldn't be sued since you havn't had any possibility of seeing such a copyright notice... This is also one of the reasons you can't copyright words nor names... Well, for names you can, but what that means is that if someone else uses the same name, the one who used it first gets to keep it while the other one must rename...
I'm not a copyright extremist, but nothing just is there... I was told once to make a valid copyright, you have to include the name of the owner of the copyright, the year(s) the 'product' you were making, was made. And include the text 'Copyright'..
Copyright 2009 Some-Name
But the copyright 'logo' should also be valid... I ain't sure

Copyright is inherent in the creation of the item, whether it be a thing or process. In the US, you can register copyright, but you don't have to. You simply have to show proof of ownership. You're thinking of registrations and trademarks, which are a different thing altogether.
