Down go the pictures!

(This post is followed by an "Update" at end)

I am asking my loyal readers to please give me advice, suggestions, information, whatever you know about this!

I have been reading, and discovered that no, it is NOT ok to plunder the world of google for witty images to illustrate my blog with.

I thought- anyone would- that all I needed was to give credit to my source. I was so careful to do that, so very diligent. I felt so much more virtuous than the many bloggers who did not.

But I learned it’s not enough-- I need permission.

I read that almost any image online is off-limits. Even the guys who photograph book jackets!

I could be fined enormous amounts. Like $1000 an image! With such a crowd of pictures I so proudly stuffed my blog with, I could be in debt for life!

                         Alas, Benny, no more pictures!
