I copy a whole lot of images off the 'Net, and save them for personal
use. I think that by law it is legitimate. Historically this has been
the way of it for a very long time.Go to a library and you can copy
anything there - for personal use only and not to publish or make money
from. If material  is capable of showing on my computer, it is capable
of being copied. However - I am careful to be sure that this material is
strictly for my personal use and NEVER shows up in any of my websites or
is used in any way to produce income. It's only purpose for me is
reference material. It is nice to be able to have it all at my
fingertips on my own machine when I am working a project - any project.
It is great source material to prompt the generation of new ideas.

By the way - any image that appears to be non-copyable can be copied.
Simply do a screen capture, trim the image, then store it in a folder.
