"Please be aware that some sites forbid hotlinking images from their site and will substitute objectionable images in their place. Check the Terms of Service of that site to be sure -- and if in doubt, host the image yourself using some site like Photobucket, Image Shack or Tiny Pic and simply credit the source. Ignorance is no excuse. You will be held responsible for the content of any image that you post or link to."

The thing about hotlinking is, whenever a website is created they usually rely on a web-host, web-hosts supply bandwidth for x amount of money to a client/ individual. Every time a person visits that clients site the client is charged for that bandwidth that is being used. Anything that is hotlinked from that site is like a direct link to that persons bandwidth usage.

Prime example: any image that is directly linked to the url of a persons site uses up that persons bandwidth. For each time that image is posted on another site that person is being charged by his web-host for each kb of bandwidth used. Each time someone visits another persons webpage with the hotlinked image the site owner gets charged. Eventually the cost of the website gets too much to handle and the owner of the website ends up getting shut down due to the inability to keep up with the costs of maintaining the site.

Seems a little dramatic I know but it happens just that way. It's always best to save an image to your own computer and upload it to an image hosting site rather than risk possible lawsuit.

Hi

I realised that many of us we have the same problem at the time of hotlinking some pics, doesn't matter if is the pic of a naked avatar (AP one) or a picture of a guy in underwear, kind a calkin klein ad, so I was wondering how to do it right before to post any adult content as well because I don't want the pictures to be removed and on other hand I think people who get to the page to buy the product want to see it. Anyway, I find a quite nice site, dutch so I guess in some countries some ideas about nudity are more real, the site seems ok, good quality images, different ways of linking and is not so ambiguos, with the tos and with what is banable or not, because is an adult site, just thought I wanna share that with all of you, I am using it, and I think will work and be really helpful for all of us at the time to post and hotlinking. Check it. If there is somewhere else I can post this message just let me know. Thanks in advanced.
