Very good points. I had the same concern myself. I started this thread
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...ate-tools.html as basically, some affiliate programs lack up to date model photos which can be used for a write up of that model. Like you, I don't want somebody sending out DMCA's or writs if I try to promote them. Maybe affiliate programs could update tools with DMCA threat free photos or whatever?
