### Intellectual Property Considerations

If you'd like to create a Zine to share or sell with the wider world, be sure to use imagery and content where you hold intellectual property rights. Cutting up magazines might work for something casually shared with friends, but could cause legal trouble if shared online or sold.&#x20;

Maybe you live in a country with a [Fair Use ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair\_use)or Parody Law that allows you to share copyrighted work under specific conditions.

#### I found a cool digital image, but I'm not sure who holds the rights

You can use [https://tineye.com/](https://tineye.com/) for a reverse image search if you are trying to find the original source of an image.

#### I need to find images where I have permission to use them
