Just because you can find it on the internet doesn't mean you can use it as your won. Angry Birds is on the net, you can't just rip it and publish it to the store as your own! Same principle with art ... or anything for that matter.
Like can I make an app like angry birds or froggy jump and just use that as an idea and make my own version of it and make the charterers, background, and name is diffrent.

Also, I should say that you can get images off the web and change them A LOT and use them. I believe GSHelper.com (TSB's website) has a tutorial on best practices for doing this.
I often use black and white frames as the backing for my art that I find on the web. But I always change everything beyond recognition.
