Yes, but we focused more on the "search using tags" feature to make it easier to discover unique packs as required by the user. We found that in many other similar sites, it is hard to find the right illustrations.

#13This is a downright misleading website.
Tag line: "Find awesome free illustration packs for all your projects."
The first pack I clicked on (https://www.vektors.pro/illustration-packs/open-source-illus...)
Contains at least 3 trademarks(Nintendo, Marvel, and Sega), and you'd be opening yourself up to a lawsuit if you used them in a commercial endeavor.

#14Hey, thanks for making it easier to devalue the work of artists! I really appreciate the way sites like this make it easier for people to do stuff without ever even thinking about paying someone who's spent years of their life learning how to distill complex concepts down into simple images to do something for them.

This seems like to be just an aggregate site with (incorrect) tagging and links to originals works.
Full disclosure: I just know this site via HN

You are using high resolution images licensed under, for example, CC BY 4.0 on your website without providing a link to the license: e.g. https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5fba626e86ad1be131127616/5fc... on https://www.vektors.pro/illustration-packs/b-w-illustrations Maybe it could be argued that this is fair use, but why not just go the extra mile and do it properly? > We try to keep the license info as simple and acc…
Thank you for these suggestions. We will definitely consider adding links to the license files. Also, we are very much limited to our twitter account for communication but will surely set up something on our site very soon.
You’re gonna “consider” complying with the law?

Sorry for the wrong use of words there. As mentioned in the earlier comment, use of cc licensed image in our site can be considered under fair use. We will still insert the license going forward as it makes it more simpler and straightforward. Do check out the link below to see how it works along with a CC license. Also, we would definitely get more legal advice on this going forward. Thanks for understanding.

This is 100% incorrect and not what fair use means, ask a lawyer.

It's also legally required, and for many licenses (most CC licenses) you not only need to somehow include the license but also attribution.
I know very well how CC works, and if you would please read the link you yourself posted, you will understand that the way you are using these images clearly does not fall under fair use, as a compilation/library of anything whether that's images or songs or movies or whatever is not "news reporting, teaching, [or] parody" -- what these examples all have in common is that you're creating a derivative work ON TOP of the original work, which is why it's "fair use".

Hello there. Thanks for your help. I have reviewed all the licenses and included them accordingly.
