Suggestion: Meadow Run

I don't have a suggestion but the current image is copyright material from Getty, so we want something else. Any suggestions?

Yep. Pulled. Let's get some suggestions

This is a tough one. Best I could do, Apollo chasing Daphne 1◊ and 2◊. This probably counts as a subversion as she very much was running from him.

Some stock footage suggestions that doesn't seem to be copyrighted: [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊

I like 4.1, 4.2 and 4.4 the most. The losers from these can go to Image Links.

4.4, the rest for Image Links.

4.4 seems the clearest.

4.4.

4.4, unfortunately, appears to be a framegrab from this very-much-copyrighted video.

Edit: 4.1 is also from Shutterstock, 4.2 is from IStockPhoto. Google Image Search says 4.3 appears to be from a Bollywood film: still copyrighted, but with a good claim of fair use.

Wow, good finds...unfortunate, as it means we're back to the drawing board, but good that you caught those.

One frame of a video is a very small portion of the work, and fine.

I thought the same, since we're not using the whole thing. I mean movies are technically copyrighted but we are allowed to use screenshots from specific scenes and everything.

So are we allowed to use them or not?

This raises a good question. I'm thinking that this should be fair to use for reasons explained.

That did cross my mind at first...I might be thinking too conservatively on this. I'll bounce it off the rest of the staff.

After some discussion, we're going to stay with "No pages images from commercial sites whose reason for existing is to sell or license images , like Shutterstock or Getty."

There are several reasons for this:

First while technically, one frame of a video is a very small fraction of the whole, and therefore could be fair use, that opens up the can of worms of people suggesting crops of still images from the same sites, — crops which coincidentally remove the watermark of copyright notice. Clearer and simpler by far to just leave it at "Nothing from those sites."

Th second is that those sites exist to sell the use of those images. They offer discounted rates for educational and non-profit use, but they still sell them.

The third is that not allowing them will encourage people to find page images from actual examples in fiction.

Ah, well, that's really unfortunate. By the way, must the scene actually take place in the meadows or would any backdrop work?

Otherwise, this◊ might work.
