      Hello,

      I made a slideshow and referenced Google Images without searching with advanced copyright settings.

      Can I just put a copyright disclaimer in my video, or do I need to reshoot it?

      Thanks!

        I know it probably isn't what you want to here but if you have lifted images from Google Images without checking the copyright status I would shoot it again - I don't think a copyright disclaimer will protect you. This is the last thing you want to cause you an issue - people like Getty Images are always on the look out for sites unauthorized use of their images. This can lead to hefty fines - I have seen sites fall foul of this...

          I reshot the video with shots from google images that are filtered for reuse.

          That completely covers me right?
