i've noticed more and more lately people uploading works that they didn't take-- generally works that were IMPOSSIBLE for them to take. whether really old photos or NASA photos, etc... is this legal, to take a NASA photo for instance, and upload it as your own? even if you've done a little editing to it. and it certainly doesn't seem fair as far as the prestige/author list goes.

it seems like works like that shouldn't be on this site, or if they should they should be attributed to unknown or nasa or sometihng.
