Using Online Photo's For Photoshop use

[FDS]

is it a bad practice to take someones photos, graphics from online, and manipulating the shit out of them and even layer them on top of each other so it becomes your own design a bad practice?

i made a flyer the other day from hella diff images i found online, i resized all of them, changed the color, added filters. came out looking pretty good.

not unless you're publishing/printing them.. but in your case with that flyer.. it would be too hard to give credit to all those people.

Is it bad practice to take stuff people don't want to give away for free? Yeah. You got to weigh the risk, if it's a flyer you probably won't get caught, if it's for the new 50 cent album that will sell 10 million copies, someone is bound to see it.
