technicly no and under copyright law every photo is copyrighted by it's creator whether it has a copyright notice or not, it really only becomes an issue if you are trying to take credit for the work of someone else, for instance if you were to remove the notice from that photo and add one of your own claiming it as your work.

I believe that if not specially noted otherwise, copyrighted photos can be used for non-commercial purposes as far as you give credit to the author. But I'm no legal expert

It's not illegal to talk about anything, including growing illegal mushrooms, but it IS illegal to post copyrighted material without permission of the owner.

people really arent going to care unless a, youre taking credit b, youre turning a profit from it
but the internet is a greay area of the law. there is such a thing as a fair use doctorine.
recently google wanted to copy large portions of books to make them avaliable for searching online, but many publishers said that google needed permission, google said that they have the right to do this as every library in history has done it, and that under the afir use doctorine that it is legal,
this isnt exactly the same thing, but adresses the grey area of the internet law. as of now there arent many cases that hold precident so many of thiese things are still technically un-decided.
long story short, i doubt that you would be getting sued for it.
