Can I use downloaded pictures from the internet to advertise? - ? - 04-08-2014 06:46 PM
If I downloaded a picture from the internet of a famous persons hairstyle can I use it to on my facebook business page to advertise that style?

Not without the owners express permission.

Make sure it isn't copyrighted otherwise you could get fined, a way to get around it is asking the owner of the picture for usage which then you have written permission to say if you do get strikes or do the hairstyle on yourself or a friend and use that picture,
Good luck with your business

without the permission of the actual owner, usage of their picture is not allowed. You need to get prior written permission from them before you can use them. Instead you look for websites which provide copyright free images. Just google for them, you would be amazed to see how many of them actually exist out there. All the best.

2. Sharing Your Content and Information
4. When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Facebook, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your name and profile picture).
Looks like you could use it. But will need to give a reference from where you got the image.
