****, using an image from Google without permission can still infringe on copyright, even if the image itself isn't being sold. Here are some key points:
- Copyright law protects the creator's right to control the use of their work.
- Unauthorized use can lead to legal issues, even in non-commercial contexts.
- Consider using royalty-free images or obtaining permission.
Are you considering any alternative sources for your images?
How is it illegal if its just posting without me selling it or doing anything with it
****, copyright infringement can occur even if you're not directly profiting from the image. Here are the key points:

****, copyright law is quite strict regarding the use of images. Here are a few options to consider:

Are you open to exploring any of these options?
So if i take an image in a grocery store that has other name brands in it. I can't post that image on social media ?
