i believe so.
i have used a video clip on my page and Facebook removed it. I changed the file name and it was allowed.
Depending on the country you are in, copyright laws differ.
A way around it is to put a caption giving credit to the source of the photograph. You see this in magazines and newspapers all the time. "Photo courtesy of ........." Something like that.
Facebook like Yahoo, are a law unto their own when it comes to terms and conditions.
I'd just sit back and see if you get a warning.
