From what I understand it's against copyright law to use image like that. It violated the person who took/draw/whatever that picture. Different thing is if the image is not copyrighted, there are many people out there who give their photos for others to use, but even then the image might have partial copyright, preventing it's usage for comercial use.

Just to add to the confusion, taking a picture yourself doesn't necessarily guarantee that you're not violating a copyright. It depends on what you're taking a picture of. Certain works of art or literature, for example, might require permission before you could be free and clear to post pics of them on the Internet.
(It's probably a good rule of thumb for our purposes, though. )
Calista, I think they all live on the same server here, so I don't see why that would be a problem.
Yeah, that´s what I thought - I just wanted to make sure. Thanks!
Okay, thanks, Arctic. I thought so, just wanted to make sure.

Darn it, you got there before me! Yes, I have also heard about copyright violations caused by taking photos with buildings in the background, or photos of the building, that needed permission to be used. Maybe that's just commercial, newspaper uses or whatever.
This is a very difficult situation but it seems overall that if we post links (remembering to mention if something may be NSFW) then we take the problem away for LHC of copyright violation. If that site is using a copyrighted image illegally it's their problem.
Am I right?

I'm very wary of NSFW; if something links to a bikini photo I'd give a warning just incase you have a very strict boss or don't want rumours starting or something. Anything very very much unsuitable you're quite right, I'd just say what helpful words I'd typed into Google.
