There looks to be some sites that don't mind hot linking, or at least they don't have a prominent notice asking people not to do it. It is sometimes buried in their terms and conditions.

Others say that their images are free to use but should be downloaded to a computer then uploaded to an image hosting site for linking to.

It seems some site owners do mind their images being directly linked to though and take measures to stop it. A search for 'stop hot linking bandwidth theft' is quite revealing.

Then I suppose there could be copyright issues as well. All a bit of a grey area.

Re: Photobucket

If enough people don't use Photobucket because of the cost, maybe 3rd party hosting will be made part of their less expensive plans. People would then be more likely to heave a sigh of relief and pay.

I'd say it would be better because customers would stay and Photobucket would at least be getting something. Not as much as they wanted but a lot more than they were getting from the free service. Obviously they weren't making much money from their advertising and would be well aware that many people block ads anyway.

I could have done that but have paid for the ad-free service for a few years. Not to avoid ads but to support the service I'd been using freely for a good while. Maybe the problem has arisen because not enough people were willing to pay something.

It's such a shame they didn't tell us that they were considering charging. I think most of us would have been happy to pay a nominal fee.

Trying imgbb.com again

Seems to work OK but where are the terms and conditions?
