Entertainment: Patrick Swayze's image used on cancer site

A Web site pushing for a cure for pancreatic cancer uses Patrick Swayze's image without his permission to advance its cause.  Do you think it's wrong to use the face and story of someone known in order to draw attention to a good cause, even if it's without permission?

I think if this website were smart, they would have contacted Swayze's reps and asked for permission to use his image rather than do it the backhanded way and get in trouble. But if you think about it, either way, this website has gotten great publicity from having used the image so I guess you cannot really say it was wrong because attention is being brought to finding a cure for pancreatic cancer.
