Ooops--I guess I should have checked with Mr. Frog first before I used him as my avatar but he was just so darn cute.
It may depend on where you get the pic. I have seen some celebrities in avatar websites. |

I think you can use the photo, you just couldn't sell cakes by claiming...buy your cakes from me I am best friends with_____ and this is a photo I took of him and if you buy your cake from me, you just may get a glimpse of him when you come to pick up the cake. |

My kitty, Pepper, was gracious enough to give me her permission as well (please note CC on computer screen behind her) but only as long as she gets her daily treats! |

I think it's a very good thought on this! Good call!
But I hope Monkey Butt products won't mind me using their image as I bought a ton of their product to send to our troops in Iraq!
I plead ignorance! |

I gave myself permission to use my cake too.. LOL
But I think it's different than using it as an advertisement, which is exactly what using someone's photos of their cakes for your own use would be. You aren't using your avatar as a ploy to get people to look at your posts (unless you are JanH and her delicious men folk *drool*  ) [kidding!!!!!] |

You are right on by saying that by scouring the internet to find a 'picture' to use you are using something that you don't have the 'copyright' for and are using it for your own use with out permission.
I do think that what people on here get upset about is that people that 'steal' cake pictures are playing them off as something they have done and did not give credit where credit is due. They are saying I made this cake and I took this picture.
Where as if I had a picture of some famous person under my name I'm not pretending to be him/her.
But over all, yep there are alot of people that use things they find on the internet for their own purposes, either as their icons, or extras on their websites. |
