  • This image was on my 9-5 jobs website. Look closer and you'll see it. I cannot believe they shelled out a ton of money almost five thousand for this company to use a free theme. This was the only customized portion of that free theme they did, and they couldn't even purchase a few bucks of stock photos.

    I hope it made you chuckle, like it did to me.
  • In a clever way they made it so that it didn't affect the overall impression of the banner. Some good editing work there by the designer although maybe they should be reported.
  • You're darn right they should be reported. Nothing is clever about stealing IMO.
  • That made me *facepalm*. I would also pursue them like a hawk. I have no tolerance for anybody who steals stock photos (especially MY stock photos, which this isn't, just saying).
