Is it breaking some copyright law if i put a picture someone else made on an ad on Facebook?

i made a page as a joke, and i was couldn't remember the restrictions for posting ads. if anyone knows that would be awesome
it's not actually creepy, i'm not using a picture of a person

yes you cant use anyone elses material without permission

[storm]

i believe so.

i have used a video clip on my page and Facebook removed it. I changed the file name and it was allowed.

Depending on the country you are in, copyright laws differ.

A way around it is to put a caption giving credit to the source of the photograph. You see this in magazines and newspapers all the time. "Photo courtesy of ........." Something like that.

Facebook like Yahoo, are a law unto their own when it comes to terms and conditions.

I'd just sit back and see if you get a warning.
