You cannot use anything you don't make yourself.
I don't this statement is always true. I think that images, videos, and music found on the internet is free to use, unless the owner explicitly states that they don't want you using their material. For example, on Flickr when people post their images they have the option to not have their pictures be public and to not allow people to download the images to their computer. Another time when you can't use material found on the internet is for when it's for a contest or for profit because you did not create it yourself. However, in many cases the owner of the material may be fine with their work being used so long as they are given credit for what they created, similar to citing in an academic paper.
