How? Hotlinking of images on someone else's site has been viewed as inappropriate as long as I can remember (was it okay before 1995?). It's not wise design in any case: what if they remove it or reorganize their site? (Hyperlinks to other peoples' pages have always been okay, but that's not what we're talking about here.)
- hawleyal 13y agoHotlinking or embedding on another site is not the only thing that breaks. - Downloading - Search engines - Caching - Sharing (usually nabs thumbnail) It's just not a good idea. And it doesn't really work. Any scraper worth their salt would just fake the referrer and be fine.
