This is a somewhat complicated issue.

The short answer is: If it is on the internet, it belongs to *someone*, and without express permission constitutes theft/plagiarism/copyright violation…

The longer answer is: …but it depends on the Copyright Licensing and *conditions* the Original Owner has placed on it.

For example, ever see on DeviantART deviations posted as "Stock" and or "Bases"? Read the descriptions of them and you'll find the conditionals which apply. Things such as "You are free to use provided you…[yada]". Some are without strings.

Almost everything else should be "Get Permission to Use".
