No it's not. You, yourself have just downloaded to your PC copyright protected text, images and logos by viewing this page, yet you are not breaching copyrights?????????????

However are the defendants infringing the copyright of the rights holder? According to the laws of copyright, copyright in a work is infringed by a person who without the licence of the copyright owner does, or authorises another to do, any of the acts restricted by the copyright."
