Hacking is not what is required here? You could be more subtle, contact the site owner say how nice their images in the gallery are, ask if there is any way you can have them, buy them or given to you the owner is in further breach of copyright! This being distribution of copyrighted material. Say you are opening an arts and crafts stall and would like the images on postcards etc.. Is there any way they could do that for you! Then ask the question, "am I OK with the copyright? I assume because YOU own them that by selling them to me that this I am able to sell them on without breaching copyright" See what happens then! For your info Obtaining Copyright Protection Copyright protection arises automatically when an "original" work of authorship is "fixed" in a tangible medium of expression. Registration with the Copyright Office is optional (but you have to register before you file an infringement suit, and registering early will make you eligible to receive attorney's fees and statutory damages in a future lawsuit). A copyright owner has five exclusive rights in the copyrighted work: * Reproduction Right. The reproduction right is the right to copy, duplicate, transcribe, or imitate the work in fixed form. * Modification Right. The modification right (also known as the derivative works right) is the right to modify the work to create a new work. A new work that is based on a preexisting work is known as a "derivative work." * Distribution Right. The distribution right is the right to distribute copies of the work to the public by sale, rental, lease, or lending. * Public Performance Right. The public performance right is the right to recite, play, dance, act, or show the work at public place or to transmit it to the public. In the case of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, showing the work's images in sequence is considered "performance." Sound recordings - recorded versions of music or other sounds - do not have a public performance right. * Public Display Right. The public display right is the right to show a copy of the work directly or by means of a film, slide, or television image at a public place or to transmit it to the public. In the case of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, showing the work's images out of sequence is considered "display." In addition, certain types of works of "visual art" also have "moral rights" which limit the modification of the work and the use of the author's name without permission from the original author. Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of a Copyright owner is an infringer.
