I think this is an example of the goofy Java code referenced below.

Gavin is absolutely correct: I did an Alt-PrintScreen of their webpage and
pasted it into Paint.  After cropping, I had a reasonably good copy of the
protected image.

Perhaps the best approach is to
1) be sure to post copyright notices, and
2) do not make the higher-resolution, marketable image available on the
website - that is, go with a low resolution graphic that is sufficient for a
CRT.  Frontpage will do this for you almost automatically.
