Just because someone steals a photo from a website and posts it to a newsgroup does not make it in the public domain and free for you to use on your websites.
That is like saying if someone steals your car and leaves it on the street then it is free for the next person to come along and take.
When we find people using our images without a license we pursue all legal remedies available to us....and it doesn't matter where they get the image.
I suggest you consult an attorney on this matter.

what are you talking about?
if it's in a newsgroup, it's public domain.
many successful paysites are run solely from newsgroup content.
