You may not have the rights you think you do to the images in question. My understanding is that an image of a previously copyrighted work is not necessarily something you can protect. I also believe that there are certain uses that are allowed without the permission of the image holder under the fair use doctrine. Whether there is a financial gain is not the determinative test. It is a very complex area of law recently further qualified in certain appellate decisions. Certain information also cannot be copyright protected, such as facts.
