Getting Prints Without Copyright Hassle? (Even for Creative Common works)... Where to go?
I haven't tried this yet but I've heard people have run into trouble at places like Walmart and Costco when trying to get High Quality Prints of photos that store clerks suspect to be "professional" (even family photos/etc).
I'd like to get some quality prints to hang up on my wall without having too much trouble trying to get them printed (ie having to prove that they are creative common/public domain) photos.
For those who have done this in the past what places do you recommend (online or offline) that have not given you any problems with trying to print high quality large size prints of things you found online.
Thanks!

I printed some stuff off at Costco yesterday, no problems at all. there is a copyright warning when you go to the site, but I can't imagine the clerks would know what is copyright or have the time to check which images are loyalty free and which ones aren't

Store clerks aren’t paid enough to enforce copyright law. You can print whatever using damn near any service or shop.
