Where to get free pictures for websites

[Cloud]

When we do not have an image a client needs we ask them to supply it, when they sign the order they know that any images they supply must be their own copyright our they must have the correct permissions etc. But some of the ones they supply are clearly from google, one idiot supplied a photo with a watermark on it and it was their competitors image. http://www.sxc.hu/ is one of the best for free images.

Some moron published (very badly) a Kindle e-book entirely of my images found on the web. About 90% of these had my copyright clearly visible on the image.

I contacted Amazon. The book disappeared very quickly, and the guy will never have another book in the Kindle store.

as I stated in my post on google search......some you can't use. But it is a rare event that I can't find one I can use.

And how do you distinguish those pictures which you can or can not use? Do you evaluate the copyright status all of them or how?
