I know that there are good, legitimate reasons to want to use photos from other sources. Educational pages are a good example. This is why I have contributed images of ball pythons, including a few morphs, to Wikimedia Commons. With nothing more than a small attribution, they're free for anyone to use. There's a spider, an albino, a female on eggs, a female inverted basking, eggs in an incubator, and more. I plan to add additional ball python photos in the future, including some images that I will release into the public domain.
They aren't quite as perfect as work by a professional photographer, to say the least...but they can be legally used, unlike the former.
