What is the point with iStockphoto?

[Excellent1]

I prefer taking my own photographs.

(No Darren, don't you bother replying going "WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU HAVE" trying to act smart as the answer is Nikon D300)

Haha, but it's the same with icons. I really dothink they need to add better protection to the images. But the owner of the image uploads it to iStock knowing full well the image could be stolen because of iStock's crappy watermark.

Danny, I thought you were dead or something?

Are you coming back on HxF Danny? Or is this just a one time thing?

[Meti]

I didn't know that I have to buy the image. Lol. Anyways, can't be bothered going to íStockhPhoto. Just go to Google.co.uk » Images » Search for whatever you need.

It's people like you that don't deserve the privilege of the Internet. You wouldn't go into a shop and just take their things would you? No. Same principle applies here - you don't just search Google and take other people's pictures.

Lol mmmm...

Dont know, wont be coming on very often. Just need to control myself going on websites because they take up way to much of your life if your not really careful.

But I need to remember where I learned most of my skills so yeah Ill come on to refresh my brain on coding so I dont forget stuff. =]

I am currently going through the iStock application process, and I can tell you now they are very strict when it comes to useage of this images. If you are found using an image illegally, they will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

You may say it is a crummy watermark, however why do you want an image at say 500x350? My images I can sell up to 3888x2592, which is worth the user downloading. You loose the quality when printscreening such a small image, and you will soon be caught out.

'could be stolen because of iStock's crappy watermark.' - At the end of the day I still own the image, and can legally sue anyone caught using that image who does not have the invoice from iStock or myself to the usage of that image. I could sue the perso for theft, using stolen property on a website, plus lose of earnings

When your on an image on that site, change the /2/ to a /3/, 4 or 5 as it changes the copyright. Also if you just remove it it makes the image smaller and removes the copyright.
