re: #17 Skip Intro

It appears that representing a Shutterstock image as your own, even if modified, without giving attribution to Shutterstock is a copyright violation. Selling it is even worse.

BINGO! And, I’m not sure if attribution would be sufficient if he’s trying to sell it for profit without having a Shutterstock license.

Edit: From their FAQ:

If I modify an image, can I claim copyright to that image?
You may modify an image and use it; however, you may not claim copyright to that image. Shutterstock and/or its suppliers continue to own all images, whether or not they have been modified.

Can I sell the images that I download?
You may not sell the images that you download from Shutterstock. You can use them in design elements, but not offer them for resale or distribution.
