There's even more funny stuff in there:
"Some photographers let people share and use photographs under Creative Commons licenses, which is an alternative to full copyright "
I don't even know what that means. The creator always holds "full copyright". A CC license is just a checklist of preset licensing terms the creator can choose to offer.
"For those who insist, "It won't happen to me," mind the fact that this beach photo was the only one we've ever grabbed from the Web for a client's website."
Really. They're a web design firm with "naive" designers, and this one tiny image that they got busted for is the "only one"? Why do I have a hard time believing that?
