As far as I am aware, Matthew is correct. If the URLs were originally
contained in pages encountered via normal click-navigation[1], then the only
legal issue would be the terms of use regarding images at the originating
site. (And conventional netiquette wisdom says that hyperlinks should not
be made directly to images on other sites without permission, especially in
the case of embedded images. At the moment, I can't find anything one way
or the other on this issue at www.lego.com, so out of respect, it's
reasonable to assume a don't-link-to-images policy.)
Now, if the links were obtained by snooping (hand-modifying URLs, that is --
as opposed to normal click-navigation), then even though making links may be
technically legal from a linkage standpoint, it's still possible to that the
*act of snooping around* (i.e., not following proscribed links) might
arguably be an invasion of privacy, which would be bad.
Also, a JPEG image served by a webserver but not linked to from anywhere
might not actually have been "published" from a legal standpoint. I'm sure
it's a gray area, but I certainly would not automatically equate "serving"
with "publishing."
And the trumpeting of unpublished information obtained via snooping is
probably also an infringement of publicity rights, which is probably also
very bad.

[1] and many of the ones Remy published in his list were in fact encountered
via normal navigation last week before www.lego.com took down the images.
