Use that depicts personal endorsement by model

Also, from DT:

--- Quote ---If an Image depicts a person and is used in a manner that implies the use or endorsement of a product or service by that model, you must indicate that the person depicted is a model and used only for illustrative purposes. Under no circumstances, you cannot use an image with a person or more, in a context suggesting he/she or they are endorsing a subject that can be seen as sensitive.

FT is not as clear, but I believe it also means the same:

--- Quote ---he or she shall not: (...)
take any action in connection with the Work that associates it or the creator of the Work, or the persons or property appearing in the Work (if any), with any political, religious, economic or other opinion-based movements or parties.
--- End quote ---

Thanks for that.

I believe a significant percentage of such downloads will be used for "endorsements" anyway.

Sean Locke Photography:
But not such obvious ones.  There's a difference between putting an image next to a paragraph and putting an image next to a name, with a direct quote from the "person".

disorderly:
The last one of these we saw was the Faces of Coal campaign, which was another bunch of iStock images.  (Story on the iStock forum.)  Which suggests a new slogan: iStockphoto: When Real Customers Just Won't Do!

madelaide:
There was a thread here some time ago... maybe in the "tear sheets" thread... a stock photo used in a site where people would get counseling with a woman, as if that woman in the photo was the counselor.  Not a big deal, but makes on wonder if there is a counselor on the other side, or just a group of trainees answering the mail.

In most cases I believe the model or the photographer wouldn't bother about this use, unless there is a more sensitive issue.

bittersweet:
Those first two testimonials are so bad. Would people really admit to that kind of attitude regarding their clients or employer with their name attached and published on the web? "...the client never knows"... "stupid company policy" ???

They are either fake or incredibly stupid.

After looking further, it appears to be a joke site. :)
