Is saving Images on Photobucket Illegal?

As in Right click, save as, and just do whatever you want with them (Photoshopping, set as background etc). Is it Illegal to save pictures on Photobucket?

Erm....I doubt it but you can always google it.

What a silly question!! Of course not!!

No... unless whoever it belongs to has some kind of copyright to the image AND you're going to use it for profit.SolidSnake35

So, unless you ain't stealing someones "Photoshopped" work on Photobucket, its ok to save the Image? I've seen lots of plain images on Game Characters, bands, and lots of stuff that I'll love to Photoshop and put them as my background and what not. Is it ok to do that?

Well, like was I saying, all I'm doing is saving a picture and photoshopping it & putting it as my background. I just don't know if it's Illegal to do it.

I just found out yesterday if you break an engagement, the girl can sue you for emotional damages. How screwed up is that?XilePrincess

I'm sure there is a lot of copyright violations on the internet, but really what is anyone going to do?

It's an issue when you use someone else's work. In most cases if you aren't displaying it anywhere else online or trying to pass it off as yours you shouldn't have any issues although it is frowned upon. However, if you even just use a pic, photoshop it, and then put it on your website or something, you could face action if the creator finds out. In most cases you would receive a cease and desist letter or a request for you to link the original image or note the image creator. If you fail to follow those requests though you could be taken to court.
