I HAVEN'T USED ANY PICTURES!!! All I did was ask a question, in case I could use them. Please stop answering this now. And don't ever call me a thief, you prick!
So the pictures you used on the greeting cards your ministry has already sold were your own?
You asked a question that I answered, for you, and more importantly, for the readers of this forum. I'll stop when I'm done.
If I pricked your conscience, it was purely intentional.

Which site(s) have you used images from?
Is a church exempt from possession of stolen property, given to it by the thief?
Does your ministry know you have put them in jeopardy of a copyright infringement suit?
Do you plan to continue to steal images?
Feeling chastised? "Repent, and sin no more."
You make it sound like he
already did it.
Careful shoving words in peoples mouths, or have you always wanted to be a ventriloquist?

I've never used any of the pictures on here because all of my cards for the past 20 years have stamped or die cut images on them. I've seen some beautiful sunsets that would be pretty for sympathy cards and that's why I asked the question if it was legal to do so. My conscience is clean.
Everyone repeat after me: I'VE NEVER DOWNLOADED OR USED A PICTURE OFF THIS SITE. So stop assuming that I've done so.
If you know the author/photographer then contact them and ask if you can use the image. 90% of the time, if one develops a friendly relationship with whom ever, One could end up benefiting or working on a project together.
To flat out use images without informing the author/photographer.. at some point you will pay.. But it will be hard to track down. In your case, it would easier to track down cause you're using it as greeting cards. However, if these cards are strictly for family and not being sold, again I would contact the author/photographer.
