I can't see why someone would do this... I agree with Joel. It is
very not cool.

Most likely, this is some K12 kid who put together a site containing models he
or she really admires.  Odds are, this kid isn't aware of the social
conventions (not to mention laws) that are being broken here.  Not that it
justifies this behavior, of course, but it's been my experience that one or
two e-mails with tips & suggestions on how to fix the page should do the trick
nicely.

exactly.  In my original post, I wasn't intending people to berate the person,
just let him know that he shouldn't do it the way he is.  I figured a bunch of
people would get the point across better than just the few people concerned.

and I also posted figuring that the people with pictures stolen from their
sites would like to know that it happened.
And with all the stolen images sent into the Lego.com contest recently, this
seemed to stick out to me as something to deal with.

here are some other urls I found:

http://xbot.homepage.com/

http://xbot.homepage.com/hp/gear/photo/Junkers.html?item=8.2

http://xbot.homepage.com/hp/gear/photo/Junkers.html?item=7.2

http://xbot.homepage.com/links.html

most of the images on these pages are also stolen.

cheers!
