Crossposted from the Copyright Forum, hope you all don't mind but it is Photoshop relevant.

I ran across this site while looking for free clipart. Thousands of renders (what they call cut-out images, not always 3d) many from games & movies. Looks very well done, respectable not cheesy, and they have a zero warez tolerance same as here. But I'm kinda wondering how kosher it is, copyright-wise. Anybody here know about it? Here's a link. Mods, please edit if it turns out to be a no-no.

I don't think cutting out an image from its original source alters the copyrights that the original creator has (photographers/artists). So I don't think there is any loophole that grants visitors of iphotoshop the right to use this material commercially. And in places like Renderosity, the use of images that are copyrighted to someone else is not allowed too. I would not consider the material on iphotoshop 'free clipart'.

Yeah, now that I've poked around there a bit more I can see it's not a safe resource, especially for anything commercial. But it's so well done (and so gosh-darned huge!), it gives the impression of being legit. Easy to make a mistake, especially beginners & students who go there.

just to amplify - the site can't grant the visitors to the site the legal right to use any of the images, commercially or non-commercially, unless they provide some documentation that each of the images has been posted with permission of the copyright holders. ask in copyright forum for more info. I ain't a lawyer.
