I'm turning in a submittal package to a company we're doing some work for. They have a photo of their building on their website. If I download that photo from their website and print it on the front page of the submittals I'm turning in to them, am I committing a copyright "no-no"? I know we've talked about this before, but I can't find the topic when I do "search".

Easiest thing to do is e-mail the website administrator and ask him/her if they will give you permission to use it. Generally, if a pic is something that the general public could get (ie, a pic they could take, is one of Microsoft's many photos, etc) then you can use it without a problem, but it never hurts to just go to the source and ask permission. Then you're covered either way.

gotta disagree with you on on some parts of this one CG taking that photo without permission is most assuredly copyright violation. It would present a more professional position to either use self produced art, or to obtain written permission to utilize the picture "(and a downloaded file won't be nearly as crisp in print as the original file so ask for a clean copy too)
