Can a user post pictures on a web page or web site?
That depends. A user may post pictures to a web pate or web site with the consent of the copyright owner, unless the photographs are illegal, such as if they depict obscene child pornography. In addition, a user can generally post pictures the user took of people in public places where they had no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as in a mall or at a stadium. And, a user may reprint the pictures if the pictures are in the public domain. However, unless its “fair use”, reprinting pictures from another web site, a book, a newspaper, a magazine, or other copyrighted material (e.g., copyrighted pictures taken by a professional photographer) is generally forbidden. That is, a user must have the permission of the copyright owner before reprinting the pictures.
