Copyright is a very current issue on the internet. If you are unsure about whether a graphic is copyrighted or not, don't use it. If it is copyrighted and you know the copyright owner, ask permission, first, before you use the graphic; most graphic designers are very reasonable about allowing their graphics to be used for personal home pages, so don't be afraid to contact them to ask permission.
