I can think of at least one photographer that would be greatly displeased. Just because you buy the picture doesn't mean you have the right to reproduce it in any way. What constitutes fair use? If you post a copyrighted photo how do you keep someone else from copying it? I know that my local camera shop and office supply store absolutely will not copy or scan a copyrighted photo.
