Interesting! I personally would have loved to have a chat with Facebook's legal team about the issue. Although I'm a bit surprised they'd actually call him instead of either a) not hotlinking anymore (seems to be the most obvious solution) or b) just sending a quick C&D. I'd be surprised if they actually have a leg to stand on legally if they are hotlinking off someone's site, especially if there's have no prior agreement to allow them to do so.
