Roy,

As a photographer how would you feel if someone 'borrowed' a photo or two of 
yours to use without permission?

Just because someones ethic's allow them to take another person's creative 
work (prose, music or photograph) and use it without authorization that 
doesn't make it right or ethical.

The non-profit motive sounds like rationalization.

Regards,

Greg
