The terms of use for photos.com look very complicated...  On the first page of the site it says:  "no credits required" but on their terms page it says:  "JUPITERIMAGES requests the copyright notice "© [insert current year] Jupiterimages Corporation" appear adjacent to the Image(s) or on a credit page."

They also have this in their terms that would make me nervous a bit:

"JUPITERIMAGES reserves the right to (i) not permit use of any Image(s) for any reason whatsoever; and (ii) notify you that certain Image(s) are no longer available for use. Upon such notification, the license to use such Image(s) shall automatically and immediately terminate.

JUPITERIMAGES reserves the right to replace Image(s) with an alternative Image for any reason. Upon notice of such replacement, the license for the replaced Image(s) immediately, and automatically, terminates for any use of the Image(s) that does not already exist, and this Agreement shall automatically apply to any replacement Image(s). You agree not to use any replaced Image(s) with future products or services and you shall take all reasonable steps to discontinue use of the replaced Image(s) in existing products or services."

Does that mean that you download an image, use it for some project, put many hours of work in it but then they turn around and decide that nobody is permitted to use that image anymore, you have to flush all your work?
