    I think the basic answer is it is not legal, but if it is used non-commercially and you don't have a ton of folks looking at your site, then you probably won't get caught.

    A similar situation happened with usage of getty photos on portfolios a while back, right? A few designers had non-rights-purchased images in comps on their portfolios and got served a cease and desist. I am not sure what ever came of it (or if there was any argument for damages), but it does seem a parallel case, unfortunately.
