    The person who took the photo owns the rights to it. You need their permission to use it.

    I would bet you could get lots of female members of myspace to submit their photos to you if you gave them something in return - something like a "Myspace Hottie" button for their profile.

    For it to be legal, you should get a waiver signed, and if they are under 18, you would need a parent/guardian signature, which I doubt would happen.
