It has the "iStock" watermark on it.
The site even includes a ready-made code that can be pasted into a website to display the image.

The site claims that, "All images are property of their respective owners and are strictly for non-commercial use only."
But, everyone knows that in the event of a dispute the "owners" of the image don't care if the use was non-commercial or not.

I'll have to disagree here, it's not that they don't care, they actually want people to use the images, otherwise they would be taking action to stop such use on wallpaper sites..IMHO

You're right , Buddhapi.
I should have phrased it differently.
I meant to say, "The legal owners demand payment regardless of whether the use was commercial or non-commercial".

Interesting in that when I clicked the above adress (http://allbackgrounds.com/pt-leafs) a notice came up on my computer telling me that my virus protection prevented a malicious website from loading. The same thing happend when I clicked on the address of one of Vince Tylor's  photos.

Interesting...
...could this be a tracking script of some sort, or a cross-site script?
