You would have to ask permission first, of course.

We should put this list on the w1k homepage on the side.

eye2eye said 7 years ago 12/11/2004 12:35:27 PM EDT

http://www.free-pictures-photos.com/ I found this interesting site - a partner site to bigfoto. But I am not sure whether we can use these pictures here.
I quote the only statement I found there:

" The pictures are for free if the user can see the name of this homepage.
If you don't wish to show the homepage address please make a donation.
If you use bigfoto images for your own home page, please ensure that they are saved on your server. NO "external links" to pictures of this homepage are allowed!
contact us for more information"

No external links. So how do we interpret this?

You can use an image off that site as long as you state where the image came from, on the same page that the image appears. If you don't want to state where the image came from, then you have to make a "donation".

As a "dontation" by definition is a "gift", and I presume they don't set an amount, you could "donate" 1. and be free to use the picture without naming the source.

Otherwise, technically you would have to have the name of the site somewhere on your W1K entry that used the picture.

No external link means you can't link to the photo on their server from another site. IE, if you wanted to show your source pics, you couldn't link to the photo on their site from W1K. you'd have to find somewhere else to host the photo.

or I could be full of crap and not know what I'm talking about, anyone who may know better is welcome to correct me.

Not to be picky but the one entitled "Swedish Site (I think)" seems very german to me. It's not swedish anyways :-)

Great list, thanks!
