50+ Of The Best, Most Beautiful Websites For Free Stock Photos (Because Risking Your Biz For A Free Photo Is Silly!)
I'm a hopeless sucker for pretty photos. Especially of chic office spaces with colorful, curvy chairs, elegant white desks, and gleaming Macs.
Every time I spot them on Pinterest, I think about how ridiculously perfect they would be for my next blog post.
But, alas, you won't see them here.
Why? Because those photos -- which seem so casually and easily available -- actually aren't free to use. At all.
They belong to somebody, somewhere, and that person or company has legal rights to the exclusive use of that photo. It makes no difference whether they were taken by Penny Q. Smith for her obscure personal blog about thumbtack art or were published on KateSpade.com. If I used them, I'd be breaking the law.
(And could easily be served a crippling $8,000 in copyright infringement fines.)
My business does well, but I don't have large sums of money laying around to throw at random things like, oh, stiff copyright penalties. Do you?
