It is technically illegal to publish other people's work as your own but if you are not making a profit or a nuisance nobody is likely to take action.

All photos are automatically copyrighted the moment the picture is taken, so technically, yes. The owner may never know about it, but if they find it, they will have a right to demand you remove it.

It's not illegal, but the person may want you to take it down. In that case he can do several things, sdk you to change or report you. It's up to you.

[lauren:)]

Its pretty low but no its not illegal, it isnt fraud either unless you're making some sort of profit from it.

[Beh]

If the picture is copyright then yes. But you anrent going to got in trouble for it. If you dont feel right using it than dont.

Dear Amelia,
ethically you must not use other peoples photos.
