This simply makes no sense. Before using an image for anything, I always check its license. It's so easy nowadays! Filtering by license is now part of Google Image search, so you don't even have to visit specialized sites like in the old days.

They should teach these things early at school so we wouldn't have problems like the owner of the website in question.
