I was interested in 123rf's "free" images, from their TOS / EULA:

(b) You understand that You should seek competent counsel before using Content on or in connection with any goods or services or for any other commercial purposes.
The bolded areas were highlighted by me...yup the images are indeed "FREE", but you use that at your own risk, if they infringe it's your problem, and it is probably a good idea to "seek competent council" before using any content......
