I've heard that you can. But I've suspected that many do it anyway. Does the specific person you stole the picture from have to know that you posted it? Or?

Yes, privacy rights and copyright issues are complicated with private photos. But I doubt Lena Horne's heirs will sue me for using one of her album covers as my avatar. 🙂

@bijouxbroussard makes sense; you may have slightly increased sales. :)
