I would say the owner of the site and the original designer are the ones accountable.
The owner should have recieved PO's for the images used on their website, thus documenting a legal transaction to aquire the images. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age that these things would get overlooked. If you're a business owner you have to cover your ass.
The designer should have also gone through the necessaries to acquire the images legally. If he didn't then shame on him - although I wouldn't put it past someone to do something like this.
Question is: Who pays up? The owner of the site or the designer? Or do you just pull the images and convince the owner to legally purchase rights to new images - which might just be a much cheaper alternative.
Decisions, decisions.
