Stock photo sites are OK, you can just pay them some money and get the photo you want in a nice high resolution, and they actually have the necessary rights to sell you usage rights. (I've done that, yes.)
But there are also sites that use watermarks and don't let you pay, and a lot of those sites don't generally have any right to watermark the photo and I don't think they're OK. If they don't have the rights to the photo in the first place (they copied it from someone's twitter feed, instagram, facebook page), I don't mind removing their watermark.
- latexr 2y agoThe website is clearly targeting stock photos. It’s the top example on the page, and the only one that is animated. As for the other websites in your example, “two wrongs don’t make a right” comes to mind. Just because those websites stole the photo in the first place, it does not mean you have the right to use it either. And instead of removing the watermark, you can do a simple reverse image search with Google Images or TinEye. If you’re right and can use the photo, you’re bound to find it. Probably with better resolution, and without made up details.
