The source image has not been lifted or copied or "ripped off", so no, it's not known as that. Copyright trolls disgust me. Photographers should be paid decently for photographing and not be expected to use artificial legal monopolies to try to compensate for being underpaid in the first place.if not are you aware that lifting a watermarked photograph from Alamy or any news site to which the copyright belongs to the photographer is breaking the law and is known as copyright infringement
An instruction (bbcode) was placed in the comment telling browsers to load the image from Alamy's server - you can verify that by right-clicking and picking "View Image Info" in some browsers - and if Alamy has a problem with that, then they can block this site from their servers by various tactics. Or they might prefer the advertising from their branding on the bottom of the image.
