Yes, according to the Berne (and related) conventions.

You've been hanging out at the magazine rack in 7-11s *wa-a-a-ay* too
much.

Yes.  So what?  It's not a problem for the viewers in practice.

Besides, it might very well be covered by a liberal, public license.
For example, although it's not the default, O'Reilly will always
permit a freely licensed distribution of content it publishes, upon
request of the authors.

If you know it is *not* publicly licensed, then it is your duty to
report this showing to the copyright holders, I suppose.
