Uncle Pete:
There are many answers and the above are all fine. I just wanted to quote their version:

4. CONTENT ON THE SERVICE

4.1 All Content on the Service is marked as licensed under the terms of Creative Commons 0 (‘CC0’) by users on the source. CC0 is a license where the users/creators have decided to waive all their copyright and related rights in their works to the fullest extent allowed by law.
In a way similar to many open source software licenses, CC0 is a universal instrument that is not adapted specifically to the laws of any particular legal jurisdiction. And while no tool, not even CC0, can guarantee a complete relinquishment of all copyright and database rights in every jurisdiction, it provides the best and most complete alternative for contributing a work to the public domain given the many complex and diverse copyright and database systems around the world. In addition to this, JumpStory has taken out professional insurance at QBE.

All images are Creative Commons 0 so I went and looked that up, because I don't know CC0:

Creative Commons public domain tools CC0, is a public domain dedication that allows copyright holders to place works in the public domain to the extent legally possible, worldwide. CC's Public Domain Mark allows anyone to mark a work that is already free of copyright restrictions around the world.

Jumpstory is marketing Public Domain images for a license fee. Anyone should be able to find these same images for free, if they search on their own. Jumpstory is providing a search, some software and a promise.

I have to admit that i thought that images come from a "partnership" with agencies. That is why i posted at the first place. For a weird reason i combined threads with eg "connect" sales (if i called them correct) and similar.

To be honest i will never be that good in photography especially in manipulated ones as those that free sites offer. But on a second more calm thought i believe that idemnification and releases vs this "you are legally covered" will ensure Microstock sales for a period of time? I dunno, still a newbie :)

oooo:
this seems even worse:
pxfuel . com
no login, just press download to get full resolution
no exif no artist etc
lots of fine work, suggest to check your files...
anyone have some information?

They do a good job of writing their own promotions and skipping over the facts and details.  :) Many customers will by the marketing and miss the fact that everything there is free, creative commons and essentially public domain.

Still wondering about that myself.
