I agree that the product description should be clear about acceptable use, but at the same time, the onus is on the person purchasing the product to ensure it's appropriate for the intended use.
If I'm buying something like this with the intention of redistributing the artifacts, I'm going to be scrutinizing the hell out of this and possibly choosing not to buy based on the ambiguity in the product description.
- whoknowswhat11 5y agoIt's not that ambiguous. Instead of a reference book of printed pictures only, they provide a CD with high quality images. The blurb says "... ready to be used in your designs, presentations, or comps, as backgrounds or for general visual information." Come on - this type of gotcha lawyering stuff is ridiculous.
- rossjudson 5y agoI'm gonna "oh please" your "Come on". Take two seconds and google for a royalty-free image licensing agreement. The first one I found is six pages long, and contains all sorts of long and complicated legal fripper frappery. Something says Copyright (c) Somebody Year. Don't copy it, particularly for commercial use, unless you also have one of those 6 page "I'm allowed to do this without paying anything more" agreements.
