Hopefully you are not going to steal art on this incarnation. Be VERY
AWARE: "I put some stuff up that's not mine. If you don't like it, just
ask me, and I'll take it down." does not hold water. Get permission
BEFORE, either explicit or implicit (Some artists say specifically that you
may redistribute their art under certain conditions).
The reason I say this is because some artists are sick to death of "asking
nicely" to people who may or may not hold up their end of the deal, and
just send a DMCA Takedown notice to Yahoo instead. At this point, not only
does the group vanish, but your Yahoo account vanishes also. This is Not
Good™.
And yes, I used the word Steal because it is stealing. Artists can choose
to press copyright infringement charges against you if they so desire. Most
of the time they won't, but why take the chance?
