That appears to be still a subject of debate. My view: If I haven't copied it, how can I be violating copyright? I would still consider it an unethical thing to do, perhaps, but not a copyright violation. But IANAL. > Even if I don't own the copyright, you are using > bandwidth I paid for for your site, which is also theft. I'm not using your bandwidth. My viewer is. And it's an image you put there to be downloaded. Still, I agree it's unethical. Of course, you can use tricks with referrer headers - or even more complicated methods with timeouts from the request of the your containing page, or whatever - to try and avoid it.
