Using single images from the web is not fair use. Compilation images however, where no sign of any individual image is left, seems ok though, even without attribution. I saw someone doing this on Flickr, with 100s of images of a covered bridge in New England and the response was however not exactly supportive! Whether that is photography in and of itself is a different question.

Just one opinion but using images from the web should be fair use. However, using them in a money making way and not giving credit is just plain wrong!

Still, if you don’t want your images used, don’t post to unprotected sites or make sure you display the correct license.
