However, since the developer made no claims that this software would download video, I certainly can't hold that against them (even though they do seem to imply that video files could be downloaded in the description of the software). I greatly appreciate the positive feedback from those of you who responded to my original comment, and I'd like to respond to some who addressed me personally: #14 - "Dorthy" - As some other commenters have already mentioned, you can simply conduct a search for "royalty-free images" in your search engine of choice and you'll discover quite a few online sources, Many offering royalty-free images at no cost, while others requiring that you become a paid subscriber in order to access and "re-use" the available images (with appropriate licensing, of course). #32 - "Trucker" - First of all, may I ask what gives you the impression that I charge my clients "a fortune?" How do you even know how much I charge my clients? I (and apparently my clients too) believe that the prices I charge them for my work in creating websites for them are both reasonable and affordable, or I wouldn't have any clients! The websites I create for my clients consist of much more than simple images and videos, often including written sales copy and third-party script integration (autoresponders, video embedding, etc.). Am I not allowed to charge what I believe to be a fair price for my labor? You appear to be accusing me of doing what I'm warning others not to do, namely stealing the product of someone else's labors - which I vehemently deny! (I'm not sure what you mean by "flares" unless you mean that I'm attempting to distract people with my comments in order to not be accused of doing what I'm warning others not to do. If so, I believe the preceding paragraph addresses that issue.) You say that if you were one of my clients and you discovered how I "put the website together" that you would "find someone else to do the job." If you knew how I "put the website together," then why not simply "put it together" yourself instead of hiring someone else to do it for you? Most likely, whoever else you choose would also use some form of royalty-free or licensed content, unless you provide your own images (which is what I request from my clients whenever possible). Would you hold such disdain for those people for using royalty-free content - which they (and I) are licensed to use? As to your final paragraph, we users of "royalty-free" content are forced to rely on the providers of that content being forthright about the royalty-free status of the content we receive from them. If I'm confronted by someone who claims that a "royalty-free" image I've used isn't royalty-free, then I would gladly refer them to the source that I received the image from, and I would also co-operate in any ensuing investigation into the status of the image in question. Yes, I do keep records of where and how I receive files that I use for commercial website content - whether it's for my own sites or for those I create for my clients. (In fact, I often "brand" image files that I use with hidden information regarding its source.) My apologies for the overly long comment, but I'm a professional internet marketer, and when my integrity has publicly attacked I feel compelled to respond to said attacks - especially when they're totally baseless!]]> Sun, 03 Jul 2011 20:58:20 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138860 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138859 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 09:20:07 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138859 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138858 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 02:55:35 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138858 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138857 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 08:10:40 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138857 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138856 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 03:27:52 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138856 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138855 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 03:05:49 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138855 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138854 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 02:38:46 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138854 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138853 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 01:50:31 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138853 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138852 Sat, 02 Jul 2011 00:58:00 -0400 https://www.giveawayoftheday.com/picture-downloader/#comment-138852
