Hi Rich, Yes tthey do they are beautiful.photos' I purchase them by the bundle, but I still opt for the free photos if they have what i'm looking for. .

Yes, I was looking for my photos in my file and they were gone including the ones that were paid for Was my time up and nobody told me?. Well i got my free photos and they came in handy.(smile)

Yes, this is what I read. To me it reads that your license is terminated when you cancel your subscription...I even asked the woman on the phone...

Oh well, either way, I deleted everything I had from them. Did not have a great experience with them. I wanted to check out the images first, but that was not an option. They made me purchase a plan first...oh well, glad I am done with them. Just thought I should let people know about it.

Thanks for your reply : )

No, you may continue to use any image you've downloaded as a paying member, that's when it gets licensed to you.

I also don't understand why you keep saying you couldn't check out the images first. You don't have to be a member to see the images at http://www.stockunlimited.com just enter a word in the search bar, such as "dogs" to see the images they hold of dogs, etc.

I just went and checked it out and sure enough I was able to see the images. I don't know how that happened to me the first time. I must have went in from a link that took me directly to the sign up page and didn't realize that wasn't the main page.

Thanks for letting me know I was wrong.

I used to do my links manually, hut now i'm gonna start using the links in the airplane,and make sure that they are put where the link name it, sign up free, join, ect...

Be careful because 'free' doesn't mean they are. I did the 'free' thing and am in the process of changing ALL of my images now so I won't get sued.
I wrote a few blog posts about this and got lots if comments. Some members got sued or warning letter to remove them.

Hi PatsyC, that is because the fine line have not been read. Some want the exposure and may ask to be identified on your website for the photos. Some which are my favorites may already have their logo indented in the photos themselves for exposure, which I don't mind because they are giving me something free.. I have been to class with thousands of lawyers and we use the same photo option. I don't mind giving them their cite , because they worked hard for it.

Hi, I find many don't read the terms thoroughly.
When you join the logo or 'watermark' isn't there when you use the images. Otherwise who would use images plastered with the logo covering it.

We all have our own experiences and it's great to share them so we all learn :)

Hi PastsyC, I am not a photographer, or selling photos. what I'm dong is to get my content read. I'm glad you have taken m'much interest in it. I'm doing what is right and legal by citing, not to get credit that don't belong to me. That is why you are having these legal issues you forgot to cite work that do not belong to you. They are only for usage, borrowed not to keep. Do you understand now.

Hi. I would like to offer also, many think that only words have to be cited. Photos have to be cited if you did not do the actual work. If you don't give that person credit you could be sued.

I don't have any legal issues?
I'm not sure if my images are legal so I changed them all. I finished the last ones off tonight. I'm good.

I did not have legal issues so there was nothing to 'cite'.
There was nothing for me to understand I didn't do anything wrong.

I KNOW that already, I never had that problem at all.

I'm sorry, I don't think you are wrong in anything. Many think this is new ,bu if you look in magazines you'll see that the photos are all cited. I use to think they were signatures of the writer when it was the photo being cited. I didn't know then , now I know.

It's a myth that by citing the copyright owner you can you use an image for free. It would be the same as saying it's ok to steal a picture from an art gallery and saying it's fine because I've stuck a label on it saying "stolen from...".

"Current Fair Use image copyright laws say that you’re financially liable for posting copyrighted images, even if you link back to the photo source and cite the photographer’s name."

Thanks for the comment and for spreading the word. really glad I figured it out before I went too far with them.

I have mostly been using pixabay. Have you heard of much trouble with their free images?

Hi Jamie, you are welcome.

Lots of comments for me to join Pixabay which is the worst and many members use them. They have sued people, and not all of their images are safe.
Richard left comments about their terms and it's scary. StockUnlimited is what he suggests to everyone.

There are a few members who mentioned in the comments that they got sued, I can't remember all the details.

If you go to my profile page and look at my blog posts there are a few there and they all have comments and suggestions. I would grab all the links but I'm on my cell.
