There's been instances of this before, and it can be an annoying problem, as Sei pointed out. Just so people here don't have the same headaches I had a while back regarding the exact same issue, I'll say here what I told others elsewhere. If there's going to be problems with people using pictures from DA, then simply ask permission from the creator on DA. It takes a couple of minutes tops, trust me. I don't know about others, but any pictures I used from DA, I got permission from the creator. The amount of potential hassle it can save in the long-run is unbelivable.
