Ignorance of the law is not an excuse, specially in the corporate world. Just when you know people in the corporate world knows it all, they are some idiots still make a huge mistake that cause one simple act.
That act is copying. Anything that you find in the web, whether an article, a photo, or a work of art and claim it be your own is a violation that you can be suited for. People find it easy just to get any resources in net, but they never understand that there are people writers/ artists who created it and some are strictly not to be copied, that is why some photos / images have “Copyright” logo are embed with it. Once you have seen those kind, you never copy that image, not unless you ask permission or if possible buy it from the author or artist.
Never ever copy the exact thing and be stupid enough to publish and distribute it in the World Wide Web or to the masses for you may signing yourself a law suit for you can never know who watches us. It is better to play dumb and let others know your capabilities and skills than acting smart and know NOTHING in what you are doing, for a simple mistake like copying with no other inputs involves can easily shows how incompetent you are. There is no shame in asking and admitting things that we don’t know, because there are also people that involves, for your incompetent and these are the people who trusted you.
