If we find a picture somewhere, say on CNN, that we want to post here- do we need to first move it over to a site like villagephotos and link to our own site or can we just post straight from whatever site we find the photo at?

You can link to any image hosted by a site that permits remote linking of their images.

As far as posting to EZboard, that may be true, but don't assume that remote loading of images from any old web site is legal. In fact, by image lifting off other sites, you'll find yourself up against some very upset and vindictive webmasters... and you'll be caught more often than you might guess.

When you image lift, you are stealing bandwidth from others than have paid for web hosting, and that can add up to dollars for them (involuntarily). Of course, if you image lift something off an artist or professional photographer without permission, you might even be sued.

Before lifting or copying an image for re-post, you should always get permission; it's easier than you think, and permission is usually granted 9 times out of 10 if you are considerate in your wording.
