Hi,
I was wondering, if you design a site for someone else, and use the design on your portfolio, if the images used in the design turn out to be stolen, and the owner of the site gets a C&D order, are you required to remove the design example from your portfolio?
answer to this first part is:
1. What moron is gonna shell out for a tour design and not the content?
2. If the owner of the site is required to change or remove their tour because of content issues, that's their problem.

It's generally accepted by content providers that the content be licensed to the site owner, not the designer. The designer isn't reselling the content. The site owner is.
