To address copyrights issue of the pictures used in the project

Question

I am planning to use few pictures for my project which were taken from different websites. Sociosurvey asks about copyrights of the pictures when you design the project. So for copyrights, I have all the website addresses which will be mentioned for references so would it be ok for sociosurvey

Answer 1

Usually, you are not allowed to take images from websites and publish them somewhere else on the Internet (incl. online surveys).

I am no lawyer, so this is only a personal assumption: You will need the written confirmation from the copyright holders that you are allowed to upload these pictures and use them in an online survey. I suggest to use the "protected" file upload then, to assure that only respondents (and not everybody on the Internet) can access the pictures.
