Will I be breaching copyrights (don't want any lawsuits!) if I use images taken off the web (i.e via google & yahoo) on my website ?
Nearly every website posts "Copyright" and 'permissions' declarations at the bottom of their site as the first indication that anything that is plagiarized is subject to recouse via enforcement according to the limits of pertaining law (Domestic and International).

You may get away with using images for a while, but invariably it is easy enough to trace instances of abuse, especially with the growing use of www.CopyScape.com by even the smallest of website publishers!
