Where Can I Find Royalty-Free Images of Actors, Movie Posters and Album Artwork?
My staff writer and I are currently working on a full-page Oscar spread for the upcoming awards. Unfortunately, we can’t seem to find a quality site that has up-to-date images of the actors and/or screen shots of the movies. Does anyone know of a site where we can find the images necessary to make this page happen?
We also run into this problem when writing album/movie reviews. It seems like all of the sites that have images of the album artwork/movie posters are heavily copyrighted.
Any insight?

One possibility for royalty-free, adaptable artwork (images and etc), is Creative Commons. You can try their search, http://search.creativecommons.org/, and see what you come up with. Granted, these may not be movie shots or anything of the like, but you can at least see if there are images of the actors in question.
Does anyone know how copyright law works when it comes to education? Is it covered under fair use? Could you just take a screen shot of the movie then? Or is this in an entirely different category because it is an independent paper?
