    SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

          Perfectly legal. I get a lot of content off Yahoo that way.

                  In general this statement is absolutly untrue.

                  However in the case of celeb pictures it is unlikly that there are any PD pics. What makes a celeb site legal is the fair usage laws and the freedom of speech if you besides show pics do news reporting, movie reviews etc.

                  This goes for vidcaps only, Playboy images and other magazine scans would still be illegal.
