Question

I was wondering if you could get a picture from facebook and then use it in your ad in a newspaper without the persons consent.

Answer

Only if you like getting sued for making commercial use of someone's image, which is a property right.

Answer

I agree with Mr. Nelson. You posted your question under criminal law, though, and it's unlikely that you would be charged with a crime. The civil suit Mr. Nelson describes is far more likely.
