Not really reading into it as it is fairly simple. Whoever took the photo or made the image owns the rights to it, regardless of whether they should have had a camera or not. That's not justification. Projection of guilt does not make it ok.
But if you're happy and confident that they have given consent, then good. You wouldn't want to look like an a-hole for theft of intellectual property or the such. That's never a good look.
