As it says above. Would I have to use stock photos for images of products being sold. I'm designing an online shop and I need to make a banner for big deals. Lets say for a macbook. Where can I find good royalty-free stock pics for this? (If I need it)

Full Version: Do I Have To Use Stock Photos For An Online Shop?
You should contact the individual manufacturers for the products, most will allow you to use their images if it is for the purpose of promotion. I worked on an ecommerce website and one manufacturer sent a huge collection of high res images spanning across 3 CD's of all the products they offered, for free.
For stock images, I would of said yotophoto, but that seems to be under construction.

You'll need to check the usage, some state for non-commercial work only.

Alright thanks.... I was trying to find some free photos from stock exchange and stockvault but nothing was really good. So I should try contacting apple?
I found this on Apple's website, I know it says "Product Info For Media" so I don't know if they mean newspapers. I would probably still contact them, but there are some huge Hi Res Images on there
Well I think your answer is when you try to download an image.
