But the one above - art - NO!

And I am sure that the artist do not have the permission to use all the pictures as some of the sub-pictures are either present or former FF members!
Yeah it is interesting - as you said, some pictures that definitely belong to members here as well as one of a model that we are asked not to post - the ethics and legalities of using images like this are hazy to say the least. Just look at the problems around the Shep Fairey 'Obama Hope' image - he settled out of court with, i think Reuters (?) in what ammounted to an gentleman's agreement in the end but there was still no clear-cut law/rule to take away from the case.
