None of them were credited or permission sought, and it is annyoing, as in both cases they were taken for free and then used to bolster someone else's commercial offer.

We do own what we write and photographs we take, the least others can do is ask before appropriating them. It's just manners.
It has always been forum etquette to ascribe photo credits to ones that we have not taken for ourselves.
This is just an extension of that.

Appropriating someone’s photos/text to use in your own posts is not the same as using a link.
Who doesn’t sometimes use a link to a news story or whatever in their posts?
