Okay gang, I am certainly not a saint and I don't want to sound 
holier-than-thou, but since I do earn part of my living as a composer, I can't 
help but jump into the clip art discussion with a reminder about copyrights.  

Just because a picture is posted on the web doesn't mean it is not copyrighted. 
 We can go into the discussion about "well its only a flyer so its okay" but 
THAT is a decision for the copyright holder. If it's okay with them they will 
give you their permission.  Just as a composer would not want you copying their 
music and giving it out, a photographer (or clip artist) NEEDS to sell things 
to have money to make MORE things.

End of lecture.  All I ask is that you think about it.
