The image theft question and sigs etc.

So, just for discussion purposes, if someone posts an image, say on this board that they do not own the rights to use, and also flys a sig for comercial gain does that not mean they are guilty of image theft as well.

It's more a matter of discussion and interest. I am not bitching so don't take it that way. Also I do not support image theft so don't take it that way either. However, I see a lot of people always jumping on the image theft lynching brigade here. Which I understand because stealing is bad. However, I also see a lot of people post images here to be funny, or because they think a chick is hot, or what ever that they may or may not have license to use. So, if members here are posting images they don't have license to use are they also guilty of image theft? Especially if they are posting the images in question for sig views and they are profiting from their sig.

As I said, it's just a matter of curiosity and something I thought would be interesting to discuss. Thoughts?
