Legal Question in Intellectual Property in New York
I am writing a book and want to use as the cover an image that I downloaded from Youtube. The image is of a winner in a sweepstakes contest. Can I do this?

No.
Unless you obtain rights to the image, you would be violating copyright laws at minimum.
