	Since LB stopped providing images on CD, I have been downloading images from their web site -- which has worked well, as they always provide a "large" version of about 500 pixels square (which matches our "large" size nicely). However, just today I noticed a [http://liquidblue.com/index.~~cfm~~/fuseaction/utilities.copyright.html new policy] ([http://liquidblue.com/wholesale/flyers/Content%20&%20Imagery%20Copyright%20Policy.pdf PDF]) posted in their wholesale section which states, in part, that they don't want retailers to do this anymore. (That's bad.) They will, however, provide access to their "secure online image archive" for web or printing use. (That's good - an improvement.) They do specify, however, that retailers who wish to use these images must not alter or manipulate them in any way, including scaling. (That's a problem. I'm still in the process of finding out what the deal is, though, so maybe it's not as much of a problem as it sounds like.)
