Hi,
this site offer their licenses with extended license for use in templates that can be used in tempaltes. Pretty cheap. I got really curious. They are based in UT
Is that a legitimate micro???

Where or what is UT? University of Texas?

Utah two letter code
They have been around for ages. I don't think their model works, but you will find old threads here from when they were new, e.g.
http://www.microstockgroup.com/new-sites-general/solid-stock-art/ (http://www.microstockgroup.com/new-sites-general/solid-stock-art/)
Their collection still seems really small, suggesting not many contributors are interested in licensing just about all rights for a pittance

it looks like their server is down from beginning of the year.

they once were decent, though it took 2 months to receive previous month's payments; that stretched out & I haven't rec'd a payment since last spring
they also stopped taking new images
even if they come back from the dead, it's not worth your trouble
