If I found out someone had traced my photograph, that I put hours of work into (because lots of work goes into them!) I would be furious. It would be no different to fimding out my artwork had been traced. No professional photographer would be happy to see there work being stolen.
I can tell you for a fact, you would NOT be happy if you wandered onto some random site and saw people taking your work and claiming that they did it.
