What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York
I am making a website which is education based, but i might add advertisements for a little income in the future. I have taken a photo from http://hidefwallpaper.org/ , how ever that photo doesn't have any name or copyright signs in it. I do know its illegal to edit it, but i can't find the author to ask for permission. I'm using the photo as part of the logo in my site.
Question is, is this illegal? (most likely...)
Another question is, if the author is able to identify his/her photo, what is the maximum risk I am taking? for example, * immedialy website shut down * notice to remove it, * etc.
Thanks for any advice.!
