Image copyright. Am I doing it wrong?

    I am creating FREE templates. I usually have a slideshow and I would like to know what kind of images am I allowed to use. And how to use them properly?

    1. I take the images from Flickr.com that have creative commons license with attribution? I usually watermark the images with the profile link of the original creator. Is that ok?
    2. Am I allowed to use gaming wallpapers? For example Call of duty with the name of the game on it. For example this?

    I know about sxc.hu, but there are too few images.

    1) it's ok 2) you may be infringing the copyright using the game's name, I'm not sure
