If that is a pirate site then the legitimate stock agencies being shown in the Google Ads should immediately notified so that they can block that site from making money off them.
This is a major difference from other industries, if I download a movie, I know I am doing something wrong!
I can assure you that many teenagers think it's OK
Edit: hang on is that Microsoft or a third party plugin? can't quite figure it out.

Even when our Computing Dept made all the kids do projects to research the law on use of files from the internet, and getting them to make posters to display over the school about it, they still didn't really believe it (even those who did the research!).

There are tons of sites and blogs like this. Just type in google "stock images, rapidshare" and you will get tons of results like http://8888ddl.com/media/?p=17994 which contains 700MB of stock images.
"May", sure. Or "may not". Google puts that on its image harvesting pages too. Is there any provision on Google Images that states the copyright status of every image? No, since their robots can't read all the specifics around an image on a page. They just track the image, sometimes private images deep in a website, and put the deeplink online. The only way images can be "protected" this way is by adding a watermark.
