Using Images, Need help on rules.

[mikecrooks]

I would like to scan some images out of a few magazines and use them on my website. Can I do this if I site the source, do I even need to site anything, or is this not allowed at all?

Also how do internet images work? I am mostly concerned with using an images from a housing magazine, but maybe a few images off the internet. Anyone know the specific rules on this?

Read up on Fair Use. My guess is that you're not allowed to use them.

Not allowed - you don't have any rights to the images the photographer or the magazine do.
