Images - How to Steal Them Legally

This might be no news to you but I decided to mention it.  We were talking about images at our pages. It is actually illegal to take somebody else's picture unless you ask them and receive the answer yes. I wanted to recommend you "free stock photos".

These are sources of images you can copy or download, store and use, also for commercial purposes.
They are usually a little bit worse than professional photos  but they are worth going through. For example, it looks very professional when you copy pictures of single objects on a white background and paste it at your page with the same white background. The object seem to hover or it just fits in perfectly. You can search the photos or images according to a topic etc.

There are lots of sites you find free photos (just google "free stock photos"), for example I prefer and use this one (which is Hungarian):
http://www.sxc.hu/http://www.sxc.hu/

There are groups of images with different user restrictions but most of them are really free. In some cases you just have to let the photographer know you will use them, in other cases you have to wait for the approval but it is free anyway etc.
