:2cents Using Stock Content from iStockPhoto in Adult...

I just got off the phone with a rep from iStockPhoto.com, in regards to using a number of their images (no models in graphics), and was informed that it would NOT be okay to use their stock images in an adult fashion. Here's the section of terms that apply:

4. Standard License Prohibitions
(a) Prohibited Uses. You may not do anything with the Content that is not expressly permitted in the preceding section or permitted by an Extended License. For greater certainty, the following are ?Prohibited Uses? and you may not:

6. use the Content in a fashion that is considered by iStockphoto (acting reasonably) as or under applicable law is considered pornographic, obscene, immoral, infringing, defamatory or libelous in nature, or that would be reasonably likely to bring any person or property reflected in the Content into disrepute;

For those of you who are using iStock graphics in your works, you may want to check with them and verify that it's okay to use them in your production.
