Royalty free images for commercial use

    Hello I saw a posting a few lines down about images and noticed it said the post was from 2006. I received this list from a friend of mine a few days ago. It is a list of websites of images and royalty free images for commercial use. So I compared both lists and seems most of these sites my friend gave me weren't on that 2006 list. So anyways I figured if it helps someone out cool- I don't want to be held accountable if some of it is bad lol. I am just trying to help out with this list I received.

    Royalty free images for free commercial use.

    Just a quick note here to say that you need to do your due diligence when it comes to using these images. Some sites quite cleverly conceal paid images among the free ones and some use Google Adsense ads masked in such a way as to blur the line between what’s free and what’s paid for. Once you know what to look for you should be ok. Also, please be careful when the image contains people – check if a model release is required to use these images. Sometimes it is. And finally, although these are generally free pics, as I have just mentioned there can be a few landmines in there so I can’t be held responsible for those.. I hope you understand. But don’t worry – there are so many images to work with here that are free that you shouldn’t have to worry about it.
