Charles this may quite well be illegal. From what I understand about the murky rules of copyright law people that photograph their items for sale on Ebay have implied copyright protection. From a fair-use standpoint you should be able to use them personally. Of course over the last 10 years the justice department has been steadily chipping away that fair-use. These pictures used without permission on the CR site would most likely be illegal because CR is not a strictly educational site, which would make it fall under fair-use again. I've submitted pictures of my bikes to Dale to use with my permission and that's 100% legal. best, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives Coeur d'Alene, Idaho
