No, DO NOT just go copy any image you want from any website.

That mentality really upsets me.  It isn't far from saying if you don't want
to be plagiarized, then don't publish a book!  How absurd.

How do you propose to "protect" the image from being copied?  You of course
can, through JavaScript, restrict someone from doing a right click of the
mouse button to do a Save As..., however you can not protect against someone
who goes and views the source and copies the image location and then saves
the image.

Wayne Kube's website has a MG clip art gallery, with many icons, and he
specifically states you may use the images on your website.

Just don't go stealing other people's work without their authorization...
