I don't want to rehash a discussion on intellectual property rights because it's something we've examined before. However, photographs are copyright and no formal filing is required. There is a photograph on www.firstrobotics.net that I took and it is not free to use as you please.

E-mailing the host of a website after you've stolen their work shows absolutely no true regard nor care for the work that person did to realize the www.firstrobotics.net site. I would view it as little more than an arrogant insult.
