Who is actually the thief in this situation? It's like doctor-nibble is handling stolen goods....but he didn't steal them in the first place.

This is the Teapot calling the Kettle black, methinks.....
It's multiple copyright here. The most obvious is with the original publishers/developers. There is also copyright in the layout of the HOL site, the selection and arrangement of screenshots, its data etc. Additionally, there is protection for the database and the hard work involved in the form of a Database Right.
