Selling Prints Online (copyright laws)?

Postby khalid » Wed May 23, 2012 5:49 am

Is it legal to use images found online, say of celebrities (i.e. sportsmen) and then use those images in prints to sell online?

For example if I typed David Beckham into google images and found this could I sell it on a print online?:

No. Someone owns the rights to that image. You must have their permission to sell it, which would include paying them either a licensing fee and/or a commission from each transaction.
