    I need to make writers aware that from here on out these are the only images that can be used in the Writer's Block:

    1. Images that are approved for use under Creative Common rules.
    2. Memes and images that have been 'transformed' from their original intention.


    What is Creative Commons? Click the link to check it out:

    Here's an easy to find images you can use: http://search.creativecommons.org/

    However, please note: search.creativecommons.org is not a search engine, but rather offers convenient access to search services provided by other independent organizations. CC has no control over the results that are returned. Do not assume that the results displayed in this search portal are under a CC license. You should always verify that the work is actually under a CC license by following the link. Since there is no registration to use a CC license, CC has no way to determine what has and hasn't been placed under the terms of a CC license. If you are in doubt you should contact the copyright holder directly, or try to contact the site where you found the content.

    These changes are being made due to recent rulings that have changed court precedent on Fair Use/Copyright claims. People are still more than welcome to add videos to their posts.
