Situation 1:
Blogger A visit's Blogger B's blog and really likes a photograph on Blogger B's blog. Blogger A saves the photo to her computer and uses it in her blog post the following day. Blogger A does not communicate with Blogger B, does not give credit to Blogger B, and does not use the image for a reason that falls under fair use.

Situation 2:
Blogger C sees a sidebar element on Blogger D's blog that he really likes and thinks would look great on his own blog. Blogger D created the sidebar element and also went through the legal process of copyrighting his sidebar elements. Blogger C sends Blogger D an e-mail asking for permission to use the sidebar element on his own blog, and even promises to attribute credit for the element design to Blogger D on the bottom of Blogger C's blog. Blogger D responds quickly, giving permission to Blogger C to use the sidebar element. Blogger C adds Blogger D's sidebar element to the sidebar of his own blog after the email exchange.

Situation 3:
Blogger E is an elementary school teacher searching for some ideas about how to teach her students more about grammar. Blogger E stumbles upon a grammar blog written and operated by Blogger F. Blogger E leaves a comment on one of Blogger F's posts saying how great the blog is, and then Blogger E saves several of the posts (text and images) to her own computer. Blogger E then prints out the posts to share with her students the next day to teach them about grammar. Later that week, Blogger E posts the same text and images from Blogger F's blog on her own blog, and emails her students' parents with the link to her blog. In the email, she encourages parents to use the posts to review grammar information with their students at home. The following week, Blogger F clicks on Blogger E's comment, which leads back to Blogger E's blog. Blogger F scrolls down Blogger E's blog and eventually sees the posts (text and images) she originally posted on Blogger E's blog. Blogger F is furious and wants to sue Blogger E for copyright infringement.
