Youtube account question?
I just created a youtube account and I wanted to add a profile picture. I wanted to upload a picture that I found via google image as my profile picture. But apparently youtube have this sort of rule when it comes to uploading a profile picture: "Choose a JPG, non-animated GIF, BMP or PNG file. Non-square images will be cropped. For best results upload an 800px by 800px image. Do not upload pictures containing celebrities, nudity, artwork or copyrighted images. Maximum file size is 1MB." I'm a little confused by this rule since I especially seen several users get away with pictures of celebrities, characters, artworks, or other copyrighted images on their accounts before (Some would actually try to impersonated said image...). If the picture that I wanted to upload turned out to be, say, an elephant or a bowl of fruit from a random "non-commercialized" website, could I still getaway with uploading that pict. on my account?

Royalty-free images can I believe be used as and when required with no possibility of infringing copyright. The 800x800/1meg limit is generally what prevents the copyright holder from pursuing those who post images they shouldn't. This is seriously low-resolution and nobody downloading the images would be able to sell them to commercial print houses or sell them online. They will not fill a screen with a quality image and printed commercially would come out the size of a postage stamp. So few lensmen or studios worry too much about loss of revenue. They take selling high res originals a lot more seriously. Celebs may demand that their pics are removed if they feel the shot is not appropriate or in keeping with the image they wish to portray. Or is defamatory in any way. In general, posting a pic of (obviously!) Beyonce and claiming you shot it yourself, or that it's your girlfriend isn't likely to worry her, or her publicity machine much!
