What do the legal minds here say about this conundrum?

Ned, if you look into the laws on copyright, then the owners permission needs to be obtained before posting photos, I have photos on Facebook with a copyright notice on them plus a watermark on the photos, plus posted small sizes, so they are not worth stealing, You have hit the nail on the head in what you have written above.
