Introduction
Several websites allow one to download free images for non-commercial
usage, although many even allow unrestricted commercial usage as
long as any content is not redistributed or resold.
Whatever be the case, make sure you read every disclaimer or
agreement on a site before you download from to make sure that
no copyrights
are being infringed. If any copyright info is not clear or obvious,
you can always email a contact address to find out more.
Most of the content is only 72 dpi - also almost all free content
is the work of amateur photographers using digital cameras.
On this page, you'll find links to various sites that allow download
of free images and textures.
