Quoted: An item is the property of the person who created the image, and there is a 4 prong test called "fair use" IIRC. This most certainly fails that test as 1- you aren't the owner, and are using it to establish gain, and 2- you are passing it off for another party to make profit.
I think you may also have a misconception on what copyright actually is.....
www.copyright.gov/circs/circ1.html#wwp
The way in which copyright protection is secured is frequently misunderstood. No publication or registration or other action in the Copyright Office is required to secure copyright.
Copyright is secured automatically when the work is created, and a work is "created" when it is fixed in a copy or phonorecord for the first time.
