Well there's no requirement on the electronic items for resale that thing like templates actually be charged for, so I guess you could give it away if you weren't very smart.

Maybe I didn't ask that right.

I'm guessing that the image that's used in these is from a Microstock site and is being used RF by many people. Nice shot, maybe getting over exposed, but still a nice shot.

When someone pays for the license, I thought there was a clause about not using it for redistribution with a product, but these free templates use stock images and distribute them for free?

If that's true, someone has one heck of a good shot, was paid once and it's being used as a loss leader giveaway. That doesn't seem right?

There are some sites that have extended licenses for images to be used in templates. For instance, Big Stock:

so what sean was saying is that if someone (presumably) bought the correct extended license and used the image on his site and gave away his templates for free, that would be his business. As long as he paid for the correct license to use it in a template. If the person DID NOT purchase the correct license or didn't purchase the image at all and was using it and giving away the templates, that would be redistribution.

Ah, now I get it! Thanks.

Did a Tineye on that photo, which is quite popular. 73 hits.

lisegagne IS shot, which is why I couldn't find it searching all the other sites. 6700 downloads, her 7th most popular image, nicely done!
