Microsoft Clip Art and Illustrations

Did you know that Microsoft offers a huge variety of clipart, illustrations, borders and more? You don't have to pay for them, but you can't sell them or make a profit off them. Use the images for your website, online newletters, holiday projects and more. Here's the link. And as always, please read the legal stuff before using. Happy Holidays! Pam

Beware of Copyright infringement on "free" clip art sites

Hello. Just some information for people not familiar with the image world of the internet. Most people think that if they can right click and save a photo or graphic, then it must be ok to use it. That just isn't true! The artists who take the photo or draw the graphic/clipart/illustration put their time into making it. They should be compensated. That could mean anything from selling the image to giving it away with no license, but with a link or credit. But that's up to them! Always beware when you go to a website that offers "free" clipart. You have no idea where they got the images and they could be giving it to you illegally. Always read the terms of use or licensing information. You could be sued, even if you trusted the site you got it from. Royalty free doesn't mean free either. It is simply a kind of license that gives parameters for the use of the image. This is a link to a website that has permission to use the images on their site. Have fun, but read the restrictions!
