Re: Hotlinking and Image Violation
I have no idea what you guys are talking about! Can you show an example of it in someone's post?

It is also a stipulation of 90% of web hosts that hotlinking will result in removal of you account.

By using a Hot link you are infact pointing to the original source.
It only cause monetary lost IF they are selling the image for use and specify that hot linking is not allowed, in which case if that is really their livlihood they would use preventative measures like some websites that change the URL.
I will wait for a court case or something to prove this out. I don't think it's that clear as far as US copywrite laws.
We already protext against intellectual rights. But if you see a violation let us know

No, you are using their server resources and it causes them to lose money based on that.
I think it is not only unsafe as far legality because 1) it is stealing 2) it is against the Google TOS.
I don't think anyone as to specify hotlinking is not allowed, it is just a known rule. People don't put stuff on their website so people can copy unless they specify. Site like YouTube, ImageShack, Flickr are all sites that say go ahead. Most web owners don't want images used on other sites.
The fact that it is against Google TOS and 95% of internet hosts TOS should be enough to not allow it. If Google would be informed that would result in immediate suspension of AFF listings in SERPS.
The keyword here though is that display of images is restricted to the copyright owner, if that isn't enough if there isn't a copyright then you are eating up their bandwidth and that costs money.

Notice the Image is not a site owned by the poster or a free image site.
Hotlinking can also be linking http://www.site.com/image.jpg, to avoid hotlinking link to the page you found the image on so that the owner of the content gets the traffic, the ad residuals, and isn't getting bandwidth stolen.
I used to have a bad problem with this and it was eating my bandwidth bad, so I placed a script in my htaccess file that only allows images from SBF to be displayed at superbowlforums.com.
