"Much of the material on the Internet is protected by copyright. This
includes postings to news groups, e-mail messages, images, photographs,
music, video clips and computer software. The general rule is that you must
get permission from the owner (usually the person or organization that
created the material) to use text, graphics, images, sound and video that
have been created by others. There are some things that are not usually
protected by copyright, for example, facts, information, titles, ideas, plots,
and short word combinations; neither are works in the public domain."

About.com states that “Each person who creates clip art, backgrounds,
animation, images, music, or other content sets the terms of usage for their clip
art or content. These terms of usage vary greatly from person to person.” Thus,
depending on whether or not the person who created the clip art photo would
allow other people to use his image, it may or may not be a violation of Canadian
copyright law.
