I THRIVE of controversy, but I do try to be civil (keyword here is "try", tee hee). As long no one degrades to insults, flaming, trolling, and etc. SO far I am having a quite enjoyable debate withthe people here. Its a lot better than PBG.
I am not talking about opinions here, just laws. Under the Fair Use clause of the copyright laws such portrait sites are legal. More legal than Napster I would say. As long credit is given when credit is due and the webmaster of the portrait site doesn't claim any work that isn't his or hers its all legal and ethical. It is not stealing under the definition of the law.
I happen to agree with Azurewolf as well.
