Using Microsoft Clip Art in your Blog Posts? Better contact your copyright attorney.

 

If you are like me I had been using the Clip Art that came with my Microsoft Office. But because of all the posts and talk lately on Active Rain about copyrights and trademarks I decided to search out what Microsoft had to say on their site about the use of their images.

This is what the site says:

 

Use of Microsoft Copyrighted Content

Microsoft products, services, and Web content—including images, text, and software downloads (collectively, "Products and Services")—are owned by Microsoft Corporation and/or by Microsoft vendors, who have given Microsoft permission to use the Products and Services.

For more information, consult your copyright attorney.

 

Now I don’t know about you but I for one do not want to have to consult my copyright attorney because I used an image from Microsoft. So, please take the time to read all the fine print before using ANY image that is not your own!!!!
