I tried to read files (gif) off of various websites, and I got a

Then you must be using a security manager that doesn't allow that.
Are your code running as an applet?

I can easily copy them by hand to my computer. Does Java not have
the ability to copy or read files from the internet?

Default Java, just running from the command line, can do pretty much
anything. You must either be running in a restricted environment or
manually set up a security manager to cause security exceptions.
