[QUOTE="Beefer518, post: 2831411, member: 87737"]In my best guess, I would say that is ok, as it is for educational purposes. If you were to use their image in the classifieds, though, that would not be (technically) allowed. The key is the intended purpose of the use of the image. Are you using it in any way that can be perceived as 'commercial'? It's all about the money. In all honesty, unauthorized use of an image by the general public has become somewhat commonplace, and unless it's a blatant attempt to circumvent the image owner's right to any potential earnings (ie, not paying for the service of taking the photo, removing a watermark (let's not go there), etc.), the chances of a legal issue are slim, but it's really up to the individual copyright owner whether or not it bothers them that their image is being used for commercial purposes.[/QUOTE]
