If the images are substantially similar, it's just as much a violation of copyright even if they aren't absolutely identical. One court case I studied involved a photographer who was approached to license one of his photos for a CD booklet or cover. His rates were too high for the record company so they hired another photographer to go out and essentially duplicate the shot. After the CD went on sale the first photographer sued and won. You *really* don't want to mess with shady stuff like this.
