John the Project Manager wants to use an image he found on the web for a small software project for a mobile phone application he is doing for charity. He doesn’t know who originally took the picture. Can he use the image?
  1. Yes
  2. No
Explanation
Answer: No. A project manager must always follow copyright laws. There are no exceptions to this. If there is no traceability, he cannot request permission and thus cannot use the image. Trust me, we would have loved to have not made all the little charts we did for this module.

Key Takeaway: Don’t mess around with this. We knew one kid who wrote an iPhone app that made $100,000, but lost every penny because on minor thing he did violated a copyright law.
