In adult , we have these shops called content providers .
look into them ,

Dont just steal pics , itll come up in a thread on this very board , I am sure .

If it's the girl you know and you are the photograph you mostly have the liscence.


If you don't, then you have to buy liscences to use pictures. They are very cheap in adult (compared to mainsteam) . For 10 $ you can get a set.

that's called "theft".

buy your content.

If someone recognises a picture from his content store and you haven't paid for it, then yes, he will get mad. There are content providers that sell single images, so it's better for you to buy the photo you are thinking of using.
