Legal Question in Intellectual Property in North Carolina

Copyright Law and Internet

I am using images from other blogs

and websites on my blog.

Specifically, I am using their images

when referencing their content, so I

am not taking any credit for the

images in question. Links to the

source material and an image credit

are always included in each post.

Is this a violation of copyright law?
