Of course they do, since when was it illegal?
OT, but interesting in regard to this point, are some stunts recently pulled in a political contest in this area. I'll neglect to mention names, what race, or even what area, because they aren't relevant. Campaign A put up a web site including certain pictures (of theirs) which, in context, were complimentary to their candidate. Campaign B put up a web site and used the SAME pictures in a different context which was uncomplimentary to candidate A. This potentially could be a copyright violation; note however that they did not even do so much as copy the pictures - they merely incorporated the images directly from Campaign A's web site. (Permission? Do YOU think they asked for permission?) Upon discovering this, Campaign A replaced the pictures with other material, specifically some multimedia content which was also complimentary to their candidate - and in addition caused the specific pages of interest on Campaign B's site to make no sense at all. Soon thereafter, Campaign B publically accused Campaign A of altering Campaign B's web site, specifically because of this action.
