Re: Copyright Free Photos ???
Fri, July 3, 2009 - 1:04 PMBy legal definition, there is no such thing as copyright free material (one does not have to file for copyright protection to get it, but doing so greatly improves ones ability to enforce copyright). What you want is someplace where the photographer has DECLARED the images to be in the public domain. For that you are best off looking at amateur sites - no professional photographer would ever give-up their copyright, after all it is how they make a living.
Outside that suggestion, I have no idea. -

It is interesting how they've worded that - you can use it but we want to know about it.
