damn i just googled the legality and it seems you're right. i thought the watermarked versions would be fine to use since it's advertising the site... i guess i hope for "fair use"

I would argue that adding your own edit to a stock image would be considered a "parody" of the original, therefore legal to use.

The parody argument might actually hold up.
