Under international law, the right to make copies of authored (drawn,
sculpted, photographed, composed, recorded,...) materials is the
property of the creator from the very instant of creation.

Generally, just accessing a web page makes a copy and places it on your
computer. Look in your cache and see just how much stuff is in there.
I doubt anyone would get in trouble for having stuff freely available on
the web on their computer. Selling it, using it publicly and so on
could cause trouble, but simply copying stuff for personal use goes on
just by accessing the page. If you don't want it copied, you probably
shouldn't put it on a publicly accessible web page.
