If you are a teacher using FREE clipart you find online for newsletters, websites or products, you urgently need to understand how to protect yourself when using so-called "FREE" clip art...
Many sites that "give away" clip art have no rights to the work that they are giving away and you could face legal action if you use work that you do not have legal permission to use. But what you are about to read could save you countless hours of headaches and money...
Many "FREE" clip art sites giving away clip art to teachers are actually "SCRAPERS!" Understand what a SCRAPER is and how to protect yourself from them with one simple rule.
Many sites steal copyrighted material that rises to the top of google searches and then steal it by using bots that "scrap" the material. This means that the material is stolen and then put up on an automatically generated website as FREE material.
If you use this "FREE" clipart for teachers, you do not have permission to use the material unless the person who created the material gives you permission. Obviously, this is not possible if you pulling clip art from most websites to use in your teacher created products, worksheets, websites and newsletters.
If you work hard to create a worksheet for Teachers Pay Teachers, and that product is successful, you do not want to use clip art that you do not have permission to use. This could cost you lots of money and time. But there is an easy solution...
