Hi all,  
I’m just wondering about the use of images and videos in projects. Or how/where is best to get images or videos without any issues. Especially for the ‘Product Landing Page Project’. Please advise.

Many thanks and regards,  
Rashidat

We talk about this nested in a few other discussion topics:  
Basically, there’s a few sites that host images from artists, which include free and paid options. I’ve decided to use unsplash, and as I understand it, artists are uploading their images to this site. Personally I’ve also decided to attribute the source of the images in my footers.

I asked also about videos, and I think we reached the conclusion that video hosting sites like youtube and vimeo are okay to link to. Thus we don’t have to host the videos like we tend to do with images, but can take the embed code from those sites in our html. Hope this helps!

One of the news outlets I worked at had its own TV station, so they had an actual video web portal and embed videos from there. (I’m a journalist). But mostly what I see is indeed YouTube or Vimeo or similar services

> Hey folks. Just starting the technical documentation project and the question of copyright infringement came up (again…). So I assume I’m not the only one who’s just going to copy and paste a load of content for this project, right? For example, thinking of doing mine on Flexbox but I don’t want to reinvent the wheel and write everything from scratch. Especially as the point of the exercise is the building and layout of the page rather than writing technical content. Does anyone know if it’s…
