Unfortunately, it is not legal. Viewers of your page may mistakenly assume that you are an official representative of any company whose image you use. The reason being any comment you make could be represented as a comment from said company. You (or your parents) could then be held liable for making false comments in the name of that company which opens the way for lawsuits.

With you not in the US, that changes things completely. I have no idea how it works or even if it's an issue. Linking to official articles from manufacturers is legal. Just don't post an image and then link to an unofficial resource.

and another thing, when i linked the url, a photo appeared (i saw it after posting). the url i linked is about the new radeon r9 285, when i posted i saw a photo of the graphics card under the url. do you think it is legal? if you want to see it, here is the name of the page: lebanon hardware: hardware news.

Hi
I would like to make it simple for you as long as the photo belongs to your hardware stuff that's ok it is not illegal. If you have a blog or a website or you have your own copyrighted pictures then yes why not. You can share stuff :)
