Somebody on the Pentax list pointed out that Lycos is republishing some

ADITL 1. Isn't this a copyright violation, even if it is just a search engine?

click on multimedia
select pictures

These are links to the original images, not copies. I entered my name and was pretty surprised! However, what galls me is the huge, enormous user statement absolving Lycos of liability for content that might be offensive _without_ any warnings about possible copyright infringement. In other words, anyone looking at them may consider them free for the taking.
