Can pics taken from the web be used in a show bible?
Thanks.

edit: "and unacknowledged art"
Hi...I'm creating a detailed bible for a pitch which uses images of contemporary persons culled from the web (politicians such as Romney, famous actors in similar character roles from other shows, etc)...and...CG art taken from sci-fi flick screenshots, websites, etc., (unacknowledged, without permission, and unpaid as of yet).
Is it ok to pass this bible around to friends - and potentially agents? If the bible itself were ever sold in an 'art of book' (vain dream) or drifted out onto the web (if the show were picked up) I would be able to contact, acknowledge, and of course pay the artists...but right now the project is low-profile and zero budget. (If the show were ever picked up these artists would be hired.)
Any issues with this approach?? (The show is near-term sci-fi and requires a detailed orientation bible.)
Thanks
Thanks.
