  The UK law is a bit more subtle than that. Can't speak for other jurisdictions.

  Very debatable.

  I want to see this argument play out in court. He's the one specifically replacing one thing with another under some circumstance. Not the person embedding it or the one hosting the image.

  Third party site asks user's browser to request an image from the author. User requests an image from the author. Author says "sure thing", distributes an image of goatse to the user.

    Author says "sure thing" and instructs the user's browser to request an image of goatse from someone else. User's browser does so then displays the image to the user.
