Yeah...Will is correct. Unless the image is open source or royalty free, you pretty much have to at least ask permission to use it. In most cases it's probably not a big deal, but if the image is a photograph, or took a fair amount of skill to create...the person will probably want credit for it. Best bet is to search for royalty free or open source images. Mark

Hi, I might add, even buy the image you want. The icon for the app I'm waiting to be approved by Apple now I bought it for 1.5$.

Great point, @Moofa! And that just helps all those people out there trying to make a living selling their creations...just like us with apps. Good way to pay it forward! Mark

I was once VeRO'd on ebay for selling art prints. I contacted the photographer directly and ended up doing a 60/40 of net split. I actually made more money after the split as I could put 'officially approved' in the listings! In other words, contact the image owner. Alternatively, you can search google for 'creative commons' licenced content. Just check the license that's free for commercial use. try: http://search.creativecommons.org/

Just do a Google search for open source images, or creative commons licensed content as @raveyd suggests. Google is the best resource here. Mark
