I have sent the reply below to a contributor regarding copyright and images.

I don't have a problem with the policy, if this is indeed the policy, but it needs to be explicitely stated.

There are two views on the legality of linking remote images: 1) That there are technical means to stop people linking the image, so if that is the policy of the copyright holder, they can implement such means. 2) The unless there is explicit permission given for remote linking, it isn't allowed.

Personally I go with option 1 with the proviso that if a request is made by an image owner to stop linking to the image, that the link is removed.
