Most Pictures on the Web tend to be Copyrighted..............

Well yes, although the picture containing the copyrighted picture itself wouldnt be copyrighted, it still had the image that was copyrighted... thus breaking copyright laws.

It's like going into a cinema and filming the movie with a camcorder, it still contains the copyrighted material.

Then isn't that obviously violation/infringment of the copyrighted material? Why do you want to know anyway? Someone looks suspicious.

Anything that is reference to a copyrighted image, even fan art, is sole property of the copyright holder.
