As a lurker I have watched this thread and have un lurked & registered just to comment.
There are many differing views on this thread over the legality of the *use* or *misuse* of the intellectual property of other people.
If I happen to see a*model* male or female in the street who trades on their *Image* this being their sole method of income. If I take a photograph of this person, thereby taking a *digital* copy of their *image* am I guilty of theft? if I do not use it for personal gain. If so where do the paparazzi stand?
If I steal a physical copy of their photograph from a Photographer I am guilty of theft.
Do we have any legal eagles on the forum? who will comment.
If I take a copy of digital media made available by a third party free of personal gain am I guilty of theft?.
Seems to me only the legal profession can answer this
