I often read here at DKos; someone, saying, some Kossack, is violating copyright rules, Fair Use, etc.
Fair Use (*Guidelines); purportedly; allow, limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. US copyright law allows: that short, excerpts of copyrighted material, may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim. For uses; such as, criticism, parody, news reporting, teaching, scholarship and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder. Images Fair Use Copyrighted Materials I just happened to be perusing, Twitter’s Rules section, liking to familiarize myself with the rules of, all sites I use. Just to be, safe. I got a Twitter message; a couple of weeks ago asking me to confirm, that I was not, a robot. Because; I Tweeted, my Voting Info Diary, too many times. Knowledge, Is Power! Voting Info-2018. All the same tweets, just title and link. Or repeated; with, exact same intro wording. I looked it up in Twitter rules. It’s considered spam; to send exact same tweet, too many times.Now; I individually, (mix it up), personalize and re-word every tweet and then, include whatever links I’m using a lot. I have several, besides the Voting Info Diary.
I sent the Twitter Help Desk a Tweet, confirming that I am; not, a robot and I will, in the future, always follow, the Twitter Rules.
Seems to me; that, as long as one follows the rules, can’t get, in trouble.
IMO, lots of times the computer algorithms pick up minor rule violations and flag the user. Repeatedly this could be problematic. Algorithms Youtube

ie Here on DKos 5; Rules say, diarists, can have more than one diary a day.
But; they don’t say,“Do Not re-post, the same, diary.” Tell me, that’s not confusing,
Unless one; checks the rules and sees, “but not, the same diary.”
I got yelled at; by the DKos computer, for that, how I know.
So; If I think a diary needs more views (if it’s important) I just, write another, short, diary and include, the link to whatever story I want to re-post. Easy.
These computers only have to warn me once. I don’t take chances on being randomly chosen, for some small infractions. It, happens.
I like to cover, all my bases.
I wanted to share my findings with everyone and anyone; who may be confused about, what, Fair Use is.
I’ve always read; it’s, not to copy, more than, 2 or 3 paragraphs of an article, book, story, etc and to always, give links and attributions.
Kos rules say, don’t steal pictures. Why; an attribution is, usually necessary.
Some pictures are not copyrighted. Many memes,for instance. But I still like to credit, whomever provides it (the same, for links and other information).
Update-Kossacks prOgressivist and siab just informed me that;
Google images, are not always free to use. Using images not in the public domain without permission, is illegal.
Google indexes the images, with or without the creator’s permission or knowledge.
The image can be indexed from the photographer’s own website where they posted it for sale, or from a stock photography site, or somewhere else.
In any case the person who created it automatically owns copyright until they formally repudiate their rights, or until their copyright expires (100 years),
Kossack Wee Mama says; One aspect of Google image search is, that you can limit it to Creative Commons Licensed Works, so the copyright question is resolved. *Thanks, everyone. Important information.

What Are Public Domain Images? The term “public domain” refers to creative materials that are not protected by intellectual property laws such as copyright, trademark, or patent laws. The public owns these works, not an individual author or artist.

While checking out Twitters Rules, I found this:
Fair Use Rules
Whether or not a certain use of copyrighted material constitutes a fair use; is ultimately determined, by a court of law. Courts analyze fair use arguments by looking at the following factors
The Purpose And Character Of The Use.
How is the original work being used, and is the new use commercial?
Trans-formative uses add something to the original work: commentary, criticism, educational explanation or additional context are a few examples.
Trans-formative, non-commercial uses are more likely to be considered fair use.
The Nature Of The Copied Work.
What is the copied work itself? Is it factual (example: a record of a historical event) or fictional (example: a novel or Hollywood blockbuster)?
Uses of factual works are more likely to be protected.
The Amount And Substantiality Of The Copied Work.
How much of the work was copied?
Short excerpts are more likely to be protected than copies of entire copyrighted works, if the use meets other factors as well.
The Effect On The Copied Work’s Value.
Will the copying harm the potential market for the copyrighted work by effectively creating a substitute or replacement for that work? If so, the use is probably not fair use.
