Should census images be posted?

This link refers to use of such record
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/legal/recordcopying.htm

OK the use is for private family research, but by putting them on GR or Facebook doesn't that count as publishing on a website?

No, I'm not aware of any way of posting the actual image.
Best to copy/paste the transcript, and add notes about any wrong spelling or place names.

Is there a way of posting census pictures on these boards . I have put links to two census that I put on Facebook 's Glamorgan family History page , But I don't know if everyone will be able to see them ,if they are not on Facebook . Transcripts are not always correct when it comes to Welsh place names .
