Of course the image is mine, just as an image of the painting in a newspaper or brochure would be mine, it's a copy freely distributed by the copyright owner. I'm perfectly within my legal rights to do whatever I want with it, within the confines of the browser.

I'm not claiming i have the right to sell it or anything, but I absolutely do have the right to decide whether or not it shows up.

Actually you have a lot more rights than that. Your rights stop when you want to distribute unmodified or derivative works without authorization. Nothing is stopping you from remixing ANYTHING* if you have no intent to distribute it.

*if it was legally acquired. Remixing illegal stuff would still be possession of illegal stuff.
