A quick Google Images search reveals that the rest of the Gotham City Sirens pic shows considerable junk in the trunk on Harley. I... I'm going to go sit down for a moment.
Given that the images on Flickr are marked as copyright protected and "all rights reserved", and there's no statement of use or any sort of legal terminology whatsoever on this article ... am I crazy to think that what io9 has done is here pretty much the definition of illegal (via copyright infringement)?
(And no, Fair Use doesn't really apply here: io9 is using high-resolution versions that, instead of linking back to the originals, they have wrapped in their own branding and browser. Double whammy.)
@ricko: infringement is generally only something done on purpose and for profit. In this case, it could be seen as infringement, but it would be silly for the artist to complain about free advertising.

@OMG! Ponies!: Yeah, well, she didn't seem to have any problems putting out with me.

I love io9, but this is just asking for trouble.
