Well perhaps I didn't state that in that particular post, but I have stated  
it a number of times.
 
People who make a living *by* writing and creating web pages, would often  be 
mollified by being given credit.
 
I don't consider crediting someone the same as stealing the image.   It's 
really a grey area.  Some people don't want you even linking-in their  images 
with or without credit.  Many sites will block that, even for  photographs of 
things in the public domain.  So consider how they would  feel if you simply 
print-screened the photo, and then uploaded it to  commons.
 
By the way, the example doesn't actually *prove* that she didn't ask for  
consent, but that's a side issue.
 
The main issue is really to test the theory by using an image from a site  
where we *know* they will complain isn't it?  I mean there's not much point  in 
testing this by  stealing someone's photo who doesn't even notice or  care.
