[Hidden-tech] Image rights question

[Colin Panetta]

Thanks for all the private responses to this question. It's clear that we
should not post the image. I was already pretty sure that was the case, but
I wanted to double check with all the knowledgeable folks on here to see if
the fact that we were not charging for anything (and posting it in much the
same way we found it online which was also not from Time or the
photographer) changed things. Thanks!

Best,
Colin
