Err, but the cliparts on the clker.com-website comes from OpenClipart!

Is clker.com another "great" website with ads who tries to "use" content from other pages?

I know one of the authors of these drawings and I will ask him, if he knows, that his work is on this website together with Google Ads.

didn't see any Google ads - but then my ffox is set to filter all that stuff out by default

if this is so Remi then thanks for pointing it out

I've talked with one of the authors. He didn't authorised clker.com to publish his Cliparts on their website. He has posted his work at openclipart.org and not clker.com. Unfortunately, the cliparts from openclipart.org are public domain. But it's not a nice way to publish the work from openclipart.org together with GoogleAds on a own website.

Well caught Remi.

A quick Whois query shows some information of interest:

Mohamed Ibrahim of Germantown, MD is the registrant of clker.com who's home site appears to be another site feeding from a database of another site

TUCOWS Inc is a sponsoring registrant of OpenClipart, though no ads appear on OC website.
OpenClipart is hosted by http://osuosl.org/ (Open Source Lab) where Google inc are amongst their sponsors (Others are TDS, Real, Splunk & Intel).

I guess everyone needs to make some money somehow.

If you a Google search for Free Clipart I suspect you will find a lot. Many clip art sites offer some free samples and others are just public domain sites.
