Hello All -

Generally, I concur that you have to be careful about any images you get out there on the web, since many people either don't know their legal status, or don't care. So, yes... it's entirely possible that the free template company provided images that were copyrighted and not allowed to be distributed that way.

A solution? In this case, you can probably find a similar, or better image in the stock collections of a handful of sites offering millions of photos and graphics for immediate download for about $1. Try: BigStockPhoto.com, Fotolia.com, and 123RF.com and see what you find. Then just swap in the new image for the old.

And remember that every photograph and graphic image on the web and elsewhere is protected by copyright law where the creator retains all rights to the work unless otherwise released.
