First thoughts in my head after seeing the title: "What's CC0? Some C compiler? Why 0? Why are there stock photos of it"...

Due to the considerable amount of HN comments complaining about definitions in submission titles, I can't help but propose a new acronym.

A lot of photos from unsplash, is this just an aggregator?

"New CC0 Stock Photo Website" with a member login and a /shopping cart/? And you want my email address before I download a photo?

How about "New Stock Photo Website using CC0 photos to gain an audience, impending expansion into the pay-for-stock-photos market"

Hi,

Sorry for confusion; we ask for emails because we send you a copy to that email address. But you are correct; in the near future there will be a box that lets people either download immediately or have it sent to email instead.

All images are currently free and the plan is for it to remain so. Regarding the cart, that's a good point: its a hint on the additional features we have planned for the future, some of which may require a small payment.
