best site to obtain public domain images

[..] That's the fault of the evil Getty Images. They took Google to court for allowing people to view images on any website. Now a large proportion of the full resolution images are hidden - it used to be that clicking any image showed the full resolution. Most of them you can still right click and save, and you get the large image on your local hard disk, but some don't. Getty images are evil ****ing capitalist *******s, who believe that everyone should pay for their photos. Well, you can't really blame them for pitting their vested interests against other corporations like google, given that most photographers out there are clueless copyright nazis who seriously believe that copyright can be enforced on the internet. |

Ok, so if you download an image like this for free: https://unsplash.com/photos/3dUpL1h97CQ What you're really doing is stealing because you're not buying a similar image from Getty Images instead (a bargain at 475€): https://www.gettyimages.nl/detail/fo...eld/1078212898 |

Ok, so if you download an image like this for free: if the entity who own the rights to an image says it's free, then there's no issue. there are many such images. not all images are free. if you download such an image without appropriate payment, then there is an issue. and even payment is not required, compensating the creator is the right thing to do. tl;dr don't be a mooch. |

The entity who owns the rights to an image might sound reasonable, except we're talking about images on the internet that might be in a wide range of countries simultaneously, each with different laws and regulations and for the most part these countries are fake democracies as a storefront for shady corporate interests. |

Besides, we're also talking about creative freedom he https://i.imgur.com/9Z4HHMr.jpg Like the freedom to cut images from a magazine and glue them together in a composite or using photoshop to mash up images found online to create new images. Given the wealth of images available online, it's completely moot to argue about who owns the rights to which image. If necessary you can just share your art anonymously and then who gives a **** who these images you recycled originally belonged to? https://i.imgur.com/zW9jTe9.jpg |
