[thelist] Copyright law concerning images used on the internet.

[Dave Land]

Folks,

I also like http://www.sxc.hu/ (completely free images, varying
quality, many very nice, very professional) and its sister site
http://www.stockxpert.com/ (as good as I've seen anywhere else).
StockXpert uses a "credits" system at roughly US$1/credit that
sounds similar to the token system Bob mentioned.
