Tell me if you agree with this statement and then explain why or why not. "Images on the Internet are 'free game' - if someone posted it, I should be able to use it."
It's fine to use photos that you find on the Internet, but you need to recognize the original owner. Often times, people's photos are used in other places without being recognized at all and that is unfair to them. People put pictures of things that they are proud of on the Internet and the should get the recognition, no matter what. It isn't difficult to refer to the original owner of a photo, so there shouldn't be any reason that people can't do that. Most of the time, people either don't know how to cite a photo or are unaware that they need to. Original owners and artists should definitely receive credit for their photos.
