Here's why it's not theft, dipshit (from the US Government Copyright website, http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#107):

§ 107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use40

Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include ?

(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;

(2) the nature of the copyrighted work;

(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and

(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

As I grabbed the photo to illustrate a comment I was making on the thread, my use of the image would be considered fair use.

Also, you might consider putting a copyright notice on all your valuable images... I'd suggest something like this:

BTW, I see from your alteration of the photo of me above, that your Photoshop skills are about on a par with your photography skills.
