I continue to be worried about these “free image” sites, wondering when they will decide “oops, sorry, now you have to pay for every image you’ve used” in order to have a business case that makes sense.

As a commercial site, we can’t afford to be in violation of copyright. I actually wrote Unsplash a year or so ago, asking them if they could give me a binding statement that all their photos were licensed for use on a commercial site (as featured images, mostly). They never replied.

Thanks for the article. Good digging.
