I have a strange problem. Can anyone give me some general information about the rights and wrongs of hotlinking? Without going into too much detail right now, I come across a picture that was hotlinked from my Flickr account on someone's blog. Now, I've also found others being used in the same way but this one is not being used properly and is being offered for free download. The catch is that not only is is totally inappropriate for this picture to be on this particular blog, but clicking the download link does not even take the viewer to my Flickr, nor is there a link to Flickr (as per Flickr's TOS).
I want to send a request to the blog host service to complain but I'm not sure if they have done anything wrong. Many people have removed their pictures from Flickr on this particular blog. Any ideas?
