Can someone confirm or clear up something for me.

I am in the process of putting together an e-book product, and am almost done, I just need the graphics and images to finish it off.

I know I can use royalty free images from some online stock phone sites, (if, of course, they are listed as no-royalty) but what about images I find through search's like Google Image Search? Or Flickr? Is there an expectation of privacy on those sites too?

I have been using the free photo's from sites like IStockPhoto.com and Stockxchng, and a couple of others. there is just such a limited supply sometimes.

That's all. thanks.

    You cannot use photos that you do not have permission to use. A photo is no different than your ebook. Would you want somebody including the contents of your ebook in theirs?

    Yeah man you can't use anything where you don't own the copyright. You may want to consider purchasing a collection of images that you can use in your ebook.

    I used to do sales pages back in the day and purchase all the images - in most cases they cost $1 to $5; of course, there are images that are way more expensive as well, but for most purposes you'll juts pay a few bucks and be in the clear.
