An interesting discussion has sprung from this. Next time it would be more professional of you to wait until you have premission to make things public. Part of Gracious Professionalism is thinking ahead, and thinking about the outcomes of your actions. Not just the product, but the whole outcome. This could have been avoided if you had waited a few days to talk to Jason Randolph first, and to check the sources. I would have to agree with Joe Menassa that the best way to do this is to solicit submissions. That way no one's feelings (or laws) get hurt.

That said, nice job, and I hope that a lesson was learned here and can be passed on to others. Please work on making sure all the images are legit.
