    Nope.

    Copyright is automatic.

    The only thing you can conclude from them having been on a web site
    is that the copyright holder might have consented that people download
    it for viewing (but not for passing it on). In doubt, the removal
    of that website might mean the copyright holder retracted his/her
    (implicit) consent for redistribution at all.

    Public domain is only when the copyright holder *explicitly* revokes
    his/her copyright protections (where that is legally possible, in Germany
    you *can't* give up some parts of copyright at all!).
