The servers are safe (well, relatively speaking) in the U.S., but

Nothing new here. Its always been understood that in theory if you see
a photo and take another photo that is similar enough to it to be
considered a derivative work that that is a copyright violation.
However in most cases it would be extremely hard to prove and people
don't care enough to try.
