Adi Boy's Home Page

Adi Boy, a tenth grade student, is anxious to create a home page for himself on the Web. He wants to create a really cool page to impress all his friends. But, being "artistically challenged," Adi doesn't feel capable of doing the kind of graphics he'd like to include on his page.
So, Adi goes surfing on the web and finds an image he likes of a "heavy metal" band, Fictional Tensions, on their home page. He downloads the image into his computer. Using a digital-imaging program, Adi pastes an image of his face on to the band's picture to make it appear as though he is a member of the group. He then adds a title to the image "Adi and the Boys in the Band" along with some colorful scribbles and marks. Proud of his work, Adi includes the "doctored" image on his home page:
1. Would you say that Adi did anything wrong? Why or why not?
2. Does Adi's use of the band's picture for personal expression justify it's use?
3. Is Adi's use of the band's picture on his home page acceptable since the original image has been physically altered? Should Adi cite the source of the original band picture on his home page?
4. If you were a member of the Fictional Tensions, how would you feel about what Adi Boy has done?
