Is this legal?

Is the picture public domain or explicitly released under some kind of special license? If not, it’s not legal. A good place to find public domain pictures is the Wikimedia Commons. Chances are you won’t be sued (people use copyrighted profile pictures all the time) but you’re treading on shaky legal ground. Even if it is released under a special license, you may be required to attribute the photo to the original creator.

I don’t know about the legality of the rest of it, though…
