OK, so I'll only post things from people who have explicitly given
permission. If I know it's illegal, then it would be unethical to do
so -- I'm really not concerned about being sued (this isn't a
profit-making venture).
Hope I didn't offend anyone, I just want to be able to see and share
these cool pictures.
