Using Image legal issue

Sean I would say this…
Check their website to see if they have a ‘disclaimer’ saying that the images can be used for personal use and cannot be used for commercial purposes or something similar.
They do have a wallpaper section on their website that you can actually download images for your own use

I did find this->LIMITED CONTENT LICENSE

@Sean Hahahhaahhaha nooooooooooooo you should share it… I really think they wouldn’t mind…BUT to clear up any issues I emailed them… I’ll let you know.

@cowboysdude really old thread, but I searched if there was a module for this and found this thread. Did you ever get a response from NG?

@retroflex
It is not allowed. Anyway, once I made a private module for this. But can’t share publicly. -
