Using images in your blog [split off from BAs Fall]
I've only needed to use hotel photos once from the Peninsula Chicago and got the photos from the media kit and had to fill a form to get the file. In the photo caption I credited the hotel.

My view is that if you are using an official company image which has been released into the world for use then you are OK. British Airways is never going to complain that I have used an image which they supplied to other publications, and no hotel is going to complain if I promote their property with images they release.
I always avoid using anything taken by a private individual.

My daily stats reveal sometimes reveal from which website(s) someone came to BmB.
The latest is something about living in Jakarta. The author took a photo from my blog, but gave me credit. In this case, I don't have an issue.

Whether they are a "commercial venture" or "consumer advocates" or "pseudo journalism" or "click bait hacks" one thing they certainly are is points and miles service providers. Which is the core of what we talk about on FlyerTalk.
