->> I downloaded a new app for my phone today called hitpost that is using a ton of sports images, they look to be pro images... Anyone know how they are provided? No photo credit on images that I could find.

->> Hey Louis,

I went to the app's homepage and there seems to be two ways they are getting the content to the app. The first is user submitted and the second is by scraping websites like twitter, league websites (NBA, MLB, NFL, NHL,), large sports websites (SI, ESPN, etc...)

I didn't see anywhere on the site that explains where they get their content but I would assume ESPN, CBS, the NFL, etc... don't allow reproduction of their content without permission or compensation.
