When building www.everydaydreamholiday.com we cached and screenshot all the external images used (never build a scale solution because we never, um, scaled). Interestingly, we let the photographers know as well, for a variety of reasons including the possibility they had set CC unintentionally. Most were grateful - we woke up one morning to an irate barrage from one photographer who had uploaded his image to Wikipedia without appreciating what that meant. We just changed the photo we used, and sent him a link to the Public Domain Photo on Wikipedia and a dozen other sites he might want to contact who were also using it. He apologised immediately, which was neat. Given the amazing images available under CC (even for commercial use), it frustrates me when websites try to steal protected images and get away with it. If I can find a CC Commercial Use image of marshmallows toasting over lava in Guatemala [1], you can find a fully legal image of a sunset.
