That image isn't transparent. A really transparent image doesn't show with a checkerboard in your browser, because the background for transparent images in a browser is the blank page. I assume that on that site the previews are not transparent,only the truly paid/licenced images are.
Also, if download the image, it is a JPEG, and JPEGs have no transparency...

Also, it depends on browser. Firefox will copy images with their existing transparency, but other browsers do make them opaque. Gimp is at the receiving end, it takes whatever it is given.
