Went like this... by the way my name is not aneesh, my brother told me to use that name ¬_¬. I acted like an idiot here.
Thank you for choosing iStockphoto. A representative will be with you shortly.
You are now chatting with Madeleine.
Madeleine: Hi Aneesh!
aneesh: how 2 get pictures free?
aneesh: is there a way?
Madeleine: We do have free pictures available, but there is only 4 per week
aneesh: how to get there?
aneesh: can i refer for free?
Madeleine:
http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-12643202-to-the-unknown.php?isource=EN_FREEPHOTOaneesh: i make account now and refer to get free creds?
Madeleine: Yes, in order to refer, you do need to sign up for the referral program
aneesh: then i dont need pay? if i refer? to get points?
aneesh: you say 4 free a week but i only see one?!
Madeleine: To qualify for the referral you do need to have purchased a credit package or have uploaded as an approved contributor
Madeleine:
http://www.istockphoto.com/participate/referral-program/infoaneesh: that too bad
aneesh: there are free pictures on forums?
Madeleine: I don't believe there would be on forums
aneesh: so only the 4 a week?
Madeleine: That is correct
aneesh: is there archive of the free images?
Madeleine: No, unfortunately we don't have an archive for the free images. Once the one week period is over, a new set of images is available, and previous week's images are not free anymore
aneesh: i see do you recommend any websites with frees tocks?
Madeleine: Unfortunately, I don't know of any websites that have free images
aneesh: maybe ask jeeves?
Madeleine: You can definitely try ask jeeves. But, I'm not too sure if they would have free images
aneesh: is there events i can participate for free things??
Madeleine: At the moment we don't have any events that would provide free photos
aneesh: are your MisterZ??
aneesh: how do i unsecure chat??
Madeleine: No, I am not Mister Z. And there is no way to unsecure chat
aneesh: oh

Madeleine: Yes, I am a member of the site
aneesh: you use the stocks?
Madeleine: Yes I do use stock images
aneesh: share plees
aneesh: jaime manger PASTY
Madeleine: Is there anything I can help you with in terms of questions about the site?
aneesh: do you know 9gag?
Madeleine: No, I do not know this member
aneesh: liar you know you visit daily
Madeleine: I apologize, but this chat function is to be used for customers who have questions about our site and how to use the images
aneesh: ok
aneesh: if i use an image for my own work do i have to say it is from u people
aneesh: ?
Madeleine: You do have to credit our images if they are being used for editorial purposes. And this would be considered using an image to illustrate an opinionated article
aneesh: if i use for a, say, banner for a , say, forum maybe i can say i made the picture??
Madeleine: You would not be able to say that you had created the picture. You do have to abide by the licensing agreement, which essentially allows you to use the image. But the copyright for the image is still retained by the artist
aneesh: if i made picture and give to you for use can i do what i want still? like say it is mine 100%?
Madeleine: Do you mean if you contribute a photo to istock?
aneesh: yes that
aneesh: because i have canon camrere
Madeleine: Yes, if you do take a picture and contribute to our site you still retain the copyright to the image
aneesh: camerer
Madeleine: But to be a contributor you need to apply and be approved
aneesh: so problem i take photo from shutterstock and say they are mine and then you approve so then i get all the free pichers?
aneesh: if i am contributor i get free??
aneesh: i make good vectors
Madeleine: No, you do not get free pictures as a contributor
aneesh: do i get privilajes?
aneesh: pivilagis
aneesh: privliages
aneesh: ?
Madeleine: As a contributor, you are essentially providing your images for purchase on the site to other members. If the privileges you are looking for are to receive free images, a contributor would not gain that kind of access.
aneesh: if i were to be admin of site one day do i can get free images then?
Madeleine: You would not be able to gain admin access.
aneesh: if i did like say if i did
aneesh: wouldi ?
aneesh: jaime manger PASTY
Madeleine: Contributors would not be given admin access
aneesh: what if admin really likes me then says he wants to give me because i am good friend??
Madeleine: If an image is on the site, you would need to purchase the file to have the license to use it
aneesh: i understand alot now for stock photo
aneesh: tank you for helping me
