Richard... now you come to mention it, I can see that it's a pic of Hugh Grant.... in which case I'd pull it pronto before the man himself or his agent stumbles across it. 
Still pictures of famous people are subject to the same copyright laws as films - you couldn't just stream Four Weddings without permission.

The Munch is in the afternoon, isn't it? Sadly I'll be working hard....

That's better... I like the new look. 
Gman's using Eric Clapton? Bad move if you ask me, Gman.... Piccies taken of famous people are usually taken by professionals (unless snapped in the street) and are referred to as "professional images". Being slightly involved in the film industry, (long story), I can name several famous folks who would blow a gasket at the photo being used on a site like this.
Trouble is I view this site in 16 colours - even longer story, don't ask, so a lot of graphics just pass me by.....
Now... where were we?
Erm.... :roll:

I'm not meaning to hijak your thread Heather, but do cartoon characters as avatars follow the same copyright laws as "real" filmstars? I wouldn't want my little blue dog avatar to upset the real Blue from Blues Clues and I don't want a flock of angry under 5s chasing me cos I've upset their favourite Nick Junior star
Put it this way, Blue...
It's more to do with how the image was obtained. But in general I shouldn't think cartoons would cause too much trouble. It's very possible for a skilled artist to recreate a still of the Simpsons for instance... in which case they couldn't prove you lifted it from an official source. But photographs of real people can only come from an authorised sorce and re-producing them without permission is technically theft.
Having said that, I wouldn't put money on Disney NOT attempting to sue anyone that recreated one of their characters without clearence.
The bottom line is, can you afford to defend a breach of copyright case regardless of the outcome? Disney can....
