Not true. Piracy is illegal. I do web design for a living and most of the images
I create are property of the clients I service. I have seen the same images used
on other sites, and I have emailed the webproviders stating that a certain user
and stolen artwork from someone else and have had the infringing parties site
removed.

If I found out my friends were doing it, I would do the same.
