I'm going to go out on a limb and say it's not an odd question.

It's a profoundly stupid one.

Here's a simple test you can perform:  do you own the rights to those
images? If not, then have you secured the right to publish them? If not,
then it is not legal for you to publish them, pure and simple. Whether you
scrounged them from a site that's legitimately publishing them or from
some hack site that isn't, if you don't have the right to publish them,
then you don't have the right to publish them.

And doing otherwise unnecessarily jeopardizes me and the rest of this
organization, but especially Dennis, and he'd be a god damned fool to
publish them.
