this has nothing to do with making money, its stealing someone else's work without receiving permission to use said photo and nothing to do with the subject of said photo

“The posting on a website of a photograph that was freely accessible on another website with the consent of the author requires a new authorisation by that author,” the EU’s top court said in a statement.

NO MENTION of money

“The Court goes on to hold that, subject to the exceptions and limitations laid down exhaustively in that directive, any use of a work by a third party without such prior consent must be regarded as infringing the copyright of that work,” the court said.

More than once, people have requested to use a photo or 2 of mine and depending on what they are using it for, all i ask for is being credited as the photographer,,,
