Furthermore you could also be sued by the celebs themselves in some cases depending on how you use or misuse the pics, where they were taken, etc etc etc....
But that assumes ALL pictures are paps. There are many other types of celebrity pictures out there. From magazine or publications, box covered, publicity shots and on.. and on.

Each can be more or less complicated. But you are correct in regards to paps.
