Artists have always "copied" - "used" - "borrowed" from one another as well 
as nature. "Steal" implies "take credit for another's work."

Adobe suggests "looking at" - "be inspired by" - "see how others use the 
tools." "Learn through looking at work that relates to your way of seeing." 
It's called "art education."

No one can actually "steal" that which inspires and drives a true artist. 
The copyists and forgers and posers generally get "found out" and exposed. 

Does Alamy actually use the language "creative license to steal" somewhere? 
If so where and in what context.

a note off the iPad, George
