From what I understand creative commons laws get tricky depending on how the photos are used.<BR/><BR/>Just speculating, but I think if a model complained the fault would be on stock.xchng or the photographer since they are the ones distributing the photos to however many countless downloaders. <BR/><BR/>As a note, I don't use photos from stock.xchng in my client projects. For those I use paid photos from stock photography resources, partially for the reason you bring up. <BR/><BR/>I think that for a noncommercial, educational presentation (especially one you're using in a classroom), there is no problem with using these royalty free images since stock.xchng is granting permission in their image license.<BR/><BR/>Like I said, I'm not a lawyer, but those are my two cents.<BR/><BR/>JeffJeff Brenmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04120182915833816885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-56942684108341550272008-07-10T10:43:00.000-06:002008-07-10T10:43:00.000-06:00Jeff,Thanks for continuing to engage me here.I jus...Jeff,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for continuing to engage me here.<BR/><BR/>I just wonder about model releases specifically. What prevents the guy jumping in the water from suing you?<BR/><BR/>I don't mean to sound harsh, but I really wonder about this. SXC makes no guarantee that model releases have been obtained. I understand there is a difference between that and a picture of a rock.<BR/><BR/>I'm speaking specifically of people.<BR/><BR/>How would you answer the question as to how to handle the lack of a model release and the possibility of litigation?<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for helping me grasp this..<BR/><BR/>ChrisAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14159705510161241672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-7582639739799969482008-07-10T08:56:00.000-06:002008-07-10T08:56:00.000-06:00Chris, Stock.xchng has a little article explaining...Chris, <BR/><BR/>Stock.xchng has a little article explaining the need for attribution here: <BR/><BR/>http://www.sxc.hu/forums/topic/12673<BR/><BR/>Basically, if the author of the photo wants attribution, it is made known on the download page for the image.

You...Hey Chris, <BR/><BR/>I'm glad you liked my presentation. You're right about the fact none of the photos came from flickr. You have to be very careful where you pull photos from on the internet. Most of the photos on flickr require attribution to use and things can get messy. <BR/><BR/>To answer your question, almost every single photo in this presentation came from a COMPLETELY FREE stock photography resource, stock.xchng.
