新华网2月28日电 据美国科技博客Gizmodo报道,大家可能注意到PayPal页面上的政治活动页上作装饰的小怀表了,谁也没有多想。但是如果仔细看,你会发现怀表上有个水印,证明这种电商巨头跟其他人没什么不同——都没想过为素材图片付钱。
目前看来,这是网页上唯一一个非法使用的素材图片,估计是设计师懒得找合法素材而已,不是高层为了省钱。如果说这仅仅是个小事故的话,这么闪亮的细节不会谁都看不见吧。考虑到每天这个网站来往的资金量,付钱使用这个素材简直是不需要考虑的事情。

Even PayPal Tries to Get Away With Not Paying for Stock Photos
Thousands of people have probably glossed over the decorative little clock on PayPal's Political Campaigns page without a second thought. But if you look closely, you'll see the watermark that proves this e-commerce giant really isn't so different from you and me—because apparently, PayPal hates paying for stock photos, too.
From what we've been able to find, this seems to be the only illicitly used bit of stock photography, and it's more likely the result of a lazy designer than any conspiring higher-ups trying to save a buck. And if it was somehow just an accident, it takes a lot of blind eyes to miss a garish little detail like that. With all the money moving through the site on a daily basis, you'd think shelling out to get rid of the watermark would be a no-brainer.
