Buying celebrity images

[jwm]

I have a celebrity domain name which I am going to develop and would like to inlcude a few images of the celebrity in question.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a site where I could buy some relevant images as I obviously don't want to fall foul of copyright issues

Google for "celebrity images" and you'll find what you need for sure. The top end of the market is probably Getty, but also likely to be the most expensive. Kudos for doing this the right way!

Even if you buy the images, your still risking a wipo/drs arn't you ?

A'la Tom Cruise ?

Be very careful of google images - they are still copyright protected and are not free to use.

The best place to go is flickr and search for images under the creative commons license (search advanced). Other than that, you could use PicApp.com - but i have found their images unreliable and can make the site take a long time to load.
