Indeed they are, provided they are not copyrighted by the author and as long as you use them for personal research. Pictures can still be published on the internet and remain copyrighted. This is why professionals often include a watermark knowing fully well there are many who will rip off their work not just for personal purposes, but to make money with them.

Shrewd is not what I would call it. What he did was totally illegal. It is one thing to use pictures that someone else took for personal research and quite another to use it for personal gain. ANY use of other's works in the public domain is NOT an invitation to make profit. He is lucky not to have gotten sued.lil precious wrote: My snuggle bunny
