CLICK: Stock and Resources Policy ClarificationIt affects you, too, as photomanipulators.
Work that is made with illegitimate stock can be moved/removed.
This includes premade backgrounds that are not made with legitimate sources!
(For example, people who take stock from stock sites like sxc.hu and redistribute it as premade backgrounds are going against dA policy, and YOU could have your images moved or removed if you use those premades. Be careful with premades and make sure you know where the person providing the premade got the stock for it.)
We'll talk about it.
....more soon.
Please feel free to note me or the group if you have anything at all you would like us to help you promote
I have added this article to #DevNews posting later today ~ August 4, 2012.

I don't use them as prints.. nor I sell the art I make.. so.. maybe doing a premade or a manipulation is still good as long as I credit it...
It's not fair if you download their pictures and you post them here claiming that they are your stock...
I found some pictures where the stock provider asks you inform him/her if you use their stocks.. nothing more!
What do you think?
When people here don't want us to use their pictures I never use them... everyone has their own specific rules and we have to follow them. They are kind to offer precious images so we have to respect them.
when i ll have answer from them I will turn it to you
On dA is different.. Every deviant can put their own rule and you can read about it... If it is in photos it is not stock... sxc isnt clear then!
