The Commons, Creative commons
Some images - sounds - video's e.g. are published under Creative Commons (choice of the right-owners) or have fallen into in the Commons (when the IP rights have expired or there is no IP right applicable). For those elements there are different regulations; often they are free to use, keeping some restrictions in mind. They have different rules than those of the IP.

Sometimes it is for free to use images, but only if you stick to the 'rules': give attributes e.g. There is special browser add-ons and Reverse image search tools that can track and trace the internet and social easily for miss-use (read unpaid use) of material. There is a number of legal firms only doing this; searching for IP-infringement, invoicing you and splitting the revenues with the right-owners.
