    Using images from other products

    I would like to use some logos from other products (such as Windows, Office, XBox, etc...) so I can seperate different news stories and such. Is it legal to do so?

    You must read manufacturer's EULA (End User's License Agrement) to be sure but most likely you'll have to buy if you're planning to sell your product.

    Not selling anything. It's just a public website

    Even better... Get a license for every image that is copyrighted.
