Yeah, if you ever find you need to buy the rights to use a photo, post it to Tumblr first. Then you got it for free.

what exactly do you mean by "tumblr pics"? pics on tumblr are copyrighted to the respected owner like anything so you need their permission to use it.
this has come up before on QBN but most tumblr users post other people's copyrighted images under the premise of "fair use". I have argued it is less than fair use considering so many tumblr posts are devoid of context, commentary or attribution.

A client recently argued that the photos they were asking me to use were fair game because they found them on Google. I had to explain that just because it's on the internet doesn't mean that it's free to use, especially in our campaigns. Tough conversation to have with cheap bastards who have no understanding of creative rights.
- right, well replace google with tumblr why would it be any different?Miguex
