FLASH: Copyright question

[Michael Dunn]

sorry for the cross-post question.


If you want to link to a commercial site, there would be no qualms using a

line of text (ie check out Amazon.com) or a provided banner (like those many

sites ask you to post).


However, what if you wanted to use a picture from their site (a product,

etc.) and link from that? Would I need to get their permission? Like if I

wanted to spotlight a company or product I like and have a direct link from

my site (which is personal) would I be able to use images I pulled from

their site, or would I need permission?


Any answers, thoughts, helpful.
