People never cease to amaze me
There's this whole societal acceptance that anything put up on the internet is fair game, free, and not protected by any copyrights. People see pictures and text (and music and videos etc) that are put up on the internet as public property, not individual property. Right-click+save picture as makes stealing pictures so easy, it seems hard to believe that it is stealing, <sarcasm>stealing is supposed to be difficult, right??</sarcasm>

This isn't how it is supposed to work according to the law books, but the extent to which this happens is enormous.
