    mg33- I'm pretty sure, so long as you have proof of purchase, and the stock agency has such, you're in the clear even if they approached you on the issue.

    _Niko- I think, quite frankly, you're way off base. If you use their images, and they make it onto the live site, then you are at fault for that mistake. You used that image for your own financial gain. Unless your work was pro bono, and your client is a philanthropic agency that feeds needy, abused, and legless children, entirely from donations and staffed by volunteers, they are also making a profit. Hence, money was made from the images.
