Good to see the thread title change.

Sorry to sidetrack this conversation. I read much of the links that you provided as I have history in this topic. I'm done with this portion of the conversation after this:

I used to have an online gallery of pictures that I took during travel as a hobby, largely for family and friends. I found that many of those pictures wound up on a popular "pictures for sale for limited commercial usage" website. Long story short, there was nothing I could do about it, as I did not have copyright notification directly alongside the stolen pictures. I removed my website as a result.

Though enthical, the reusage of the pictures that we post, in itself, is not illegal. False advertising is something altogether different, and it certainly could be construed as that.
