Thanks askye- that might work!

Also, thanks Matt. I unfortunately have no choice in what service we use- just last year I had to work with Microsoft clip art only! Our bosses don't understand why we just can't save pictures from the internet to use in our print materials! When I started we were using pictures from Corbis with the corbis watermark left on. I asked as was told that the watermark was supposed to be there to "give them credit because we didn't pay for the image".

That's convenient! I wish I'd known I could use a watermark in lieu of money.

This might be a long shot, Sophia, but you could try searching for public domain/CC-licensed images?

I could get a three-night trip to Vegas in two weeks with what's in my checking account right now. But I need to pay my rent and continue cleaning out the house. It's nice, though, to think of next summer and how a vacation is not a ridiculous expense.

You should have seen my face! But they are professors, and they thought that it was like citing someone in an article! I don't even ask how they get their pictures for their poster presentations or powerpoints.

Flea, I am actually logged on to cafe press right now in hopes of putting up MALARKEY! Shirts. Also COME ON! We're America! Shirts.

So hive, if anyone would like to create a file for me (I have no design software and can't do this from work anyway). I am happy to give one of you my cafepress log in info to look at requirements/specs. All the things I have on there are board inspired from a million years ago and need to be redone as the cafepress options have become more robust and these old files do not print as nice as the new stuff allows.

I would totally buy a malarkey shirt, although preferably in a nice blue. Or red, or purple.

Ah ha ha ha ha ha!

Professors using images in their classroom materials and powerpoints might get by on fair use exceptions (at the very least it's unlikely anyone would ever know or care that the copyright was being violated in such a way). But an institution using unlicensed stock photos in printed products that will be sent to thousands of people is just begging for a lawsuit. They should be teaching students not to do that sort of thing in ethics classes!

I have 5 levels of bosses in the office right now, plus some as of yet unidentified visitor.

Any pokemons?

If you throw a ball at a boss, can you trap them in another dimension? Try and see.
