yes - you paid for them, and citing the source is the proof of it :)

when you have a blog on Hive - it is used for commercial purposes. Oftentimes, people are using images for personal, non-commercial use - and so they are allowed to kind of "get away" with taking images they shouldn't.

But we are being paid for our blogs. Many of the images that people use on blogs - are stolen. Some knowingly do this, some do this in ignorance.

But when you are using images that you've paid for - you've actually paid for the license. So you should SHOW that to people that you are using the images correctly. hehe

It's more for you - showing that you are legally, morally, and responsibly citing the sources of images that you have the right to use commercially! hehehe

Let me know if you have more questions - cuz that was a great comment/question! hehehehe
