Because that's where the css file is.

Not sure if I understand the question correctly.
Images that are defined in the css file, have to be relative to
that css file.
If your CSS file is in /foo/bar, and your images are in
/foo/images, you reference them from your stylesheet as
url(../images/pic.png); or url(/foo/images/pic.png);, regardless
of where the html files are that the stylesheet is applied to.
No need to copy images into various directories, they can all
stay together in one place, just like the CSS file.
