Huh, interesting.

How did they get the images in the first place, wouldn't they have had to have 'purchased' them?

Not really. SS has had a bug for 1.5 years or more now allowing anyone to steal photos via the facebook API amongst other things. There are even youtube videos on how to do it.

Also, a very quick torrent search reveals:

SS make surprisingly little effort to protect their IP (when their whole business is IP).
