Ethical or Not: Facebook Photos

   I don't believe that it is ethical to download photos for a news article without permission from the subject. It isn't fair that someone takes a picture and then someone just uses it. What if it's an embarrassing photo that the person doesn't really want anyone to know except their friends.
  It could also be a photo that someone took and posted to show their work. I doubt they want it to be published without any recognition. Even if they don't care you should still ask. It's common courtesy.
