The majority of the users do not possess the artistic talent to draw/create their own images. Nor do they have the desire to make a rough sketch and upload it. As a result, they regularly use Images that are Fan Art, or from other series. If the Original Creators do not want to the Users to use them, all they have to do is ask and they will be promptly removed. This is especially true for Artists on Deviantart, etc. However, this is exempted if they are under the Free Image Use License, where everyone can use it.

The Users don't claim ownership of the Images anyway. And the majority of them regularly use the Images as a form of place holder and a representation for the creations they originally planned or as a basis for whatever they had.
