Can I use pictures from the internet for my Facebook page? - Paul - 03-01-2013 12:00 PM

I recently launched my company's Facebook page and I would like to use some pictures from the net to make it look good.

I know about the Creative Commons license, but these pictures are rather poor. Is there any other way I can use pictures without paying a fortune for every photo?

Am I allowed to use Pinterest pics on my Facebook page as well?

look at Pinterest's legal stuff - most likely NOT
most likely you CANNOT use stuff you find on the Internet as it is copyrighted

You might need to take a look at copyright policy from the site you took the photos from

First, you need to make sure that your cell phone number is registered with Facebook. If you know it already is, you can skip to Step 6. If you aren't sure it's registered, then log into your Facebook account. Go to the top of the page and click on "Settings". This will take you to the "My Account" page.
