When creating your own Web page, remember that clip art,
like any art, is protected by copyright laws. Whether it's
already been used on a Web page or whether a copyright
notice appears on or near the image doesn't matter. It's all
copyrighted. If you use someone else's copyrighted art, you must get
permission to do so. Whether your use is educational, personal, or
non-commercial is irrelevant. If you fail to secure permission, you run
the risk of anything from a crabby phone call from the owner's lawyer
to winding up on the losing end of a lawsuit.

 Most people are quite reasonable when you ask for permission to
 use something. If an image you want to use doesn't already come
 blanket permission to use it, check with the owner before you
 decide to add it to your own Web page.
