This topic brings back so many memories. Back in the days I used to make and sell what we called āskinsā in those days (hence my handle on Facer) for mobile devices.
I had huge problems with people stealing my original graphics and complete skins. It is one of the reasons i gave up on the whole thing (having to support customers was another reason - it was very taxing,),
My guideline is; If you arenāt sure then ask the creator. Also as others have mentioned always use a reliable source for images. There is a good list in this thread.
Funny side note: I still to this day see many of my weather icons used in many many apps and webpages. At this point I just feel flattered.

So this guy gets pegged but others seemingly do not? I constantly see apparently copyrighted material from Disney, Dr. Suess, Pixar, The Simpsons and Peanuts etc., etc. being used in watch faces? (just go look at the cartoon section) Itās very confusing to say the least. Do Facer Creator Partners have partnership deals or something?

Facer supports some BRANDSā¦ Best avoid imitating them. The Partners have thier own Brands and you will note thier work is Totaly Original. Obviously that is one of the requirements of being a Partner. You have others who try hard to be original.and then you have the Swamp. See you there.
Not an issue for me personally as I wont ever make watches like that, but still confusing none the less. As you say, just dont do it if you dont want any potential problems.

Hi guys,
All good info. I think youāve covered it. The only advice that I can reiterate is to not use Pinterest. That is just collections of other peopleās work - like a scrapbook. It shows who added the items, but sometimes you have to search to find the original artist. If you use Google Images, there is a āVisit the Siteā button on each image. That will get you started on finding the original source.
Image sites usually have their Terms of Use and licensing information on their main page. For example from Unsplash: License | Unsplash Just look for that type of information on whatever image sites you use.
@juni00 I can relate to your situation. Iāve had my work stolen, too. It was when I was creating images for a website. It was not a fun situation and is why I am a bit over the top when it comes to copyright. If they had asked me to use it I would have said, āsureā, but to steal it was something else.
@christianfernandes38 Iām sure you will find something that you can use. When in doubt about anything donāt hesitate to ask in this community. The regulars here are very helpful.
Got it Lilnlayā¦ when I find an image Iāll look to see here on Facer if it is properly within the normsā¦thanks I want to learn and do everything correctly.

No, we do not have partnership deals.
