What are the rules or regulations on the use of images on the web and in ebooks?


Recently, I was publishing an ebook, for use on the web and for distribution on DVD and my co-editor suggested I use, for illustration, some images from the movie “Queen of the Damned.” I heard somewhere that images can be used only if one, you know they are royalty free or two you have permission from the photographer. If one did a google images search and found some images, say images from this or that movie, can one use those images? Is it a different issue if the images are used on an ebook that might be distributed, maybe even sold (though for only very small money)? Can someone help me figure out what can be used and what the rules or guidelines are?
Thanks,

need help finding a publisher?


In addition to my last question (ie giving up and thinking of going the ebook route)
What I’ve done so far
- Three professional reviews, from reliable editor (driftwood manuscripts) to get it up to standard. Not cheap and they didn’t pull any punches. The first draft was knocked from 350 pages to 50 fifty pages. Bit of a shock, but plenty of constructive critism.
- Over 100 reviews from the public (not family or friends) Including from experts within the field of work the book is set. All good, generally amazing.
- Research of similar books – The first 6 books I researched that were published in the last ten years were all best sellers.
- I’ve included this information in my cover letter to agents/editors.
- Last publisher liked it but didn’t want to take a risk on an untried author. They actually adivsed not getting an agent and think it’s good enough to approach a bigger publisher directly. (Random House did read but subsequently turned it down)
– dozens of agents and a number of publishers have turned it down, several of which even said they liked it, but again didn’t want to take a chance with new writer.
