Free images may still have restrictions. ie: use for a personal site is okay, but perhaps not for a commercial site.See http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ways-find-awesome-royalty-free-photos-blog/ for details.

I do have a concern with sites that offer "free images" and also allow user uploads though, which is... what if someone uploads something that's copyrighted? Now you've downloaded it from a free source, yet you are breaking a copyright as a result. I wonder what happens in those situations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jlhaslip 4 Report post Posted February 7, 2013 The original copyright would still apply and so be careful with that. Certainly you stand a better chance of getting away with a copyright-free image if you know that the site is reputable and has done their due-diligence in regards to checking copyrights before allowing the image for download. In that regard, I would not download an image from just any old site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In that regard, I would not download an image from just any old site. Do you happen to know any methods we can use to check out things ourselves? I just think it's hard to really know for sure one way or the other if someone owns an image, especially with how many sites do hotlinking and stuff (just searching will likely yield many results). I've seen people go through and even take watermarks/signatures off images before and edit them with their own, =/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
