yeah i find that strange too, i thought links were fine but obviously not the content being put here?!?!?

It's a fuzzy area, people's ownership of photos. At one point we had a photographer get after us and as a result we do ask that you either link to or at least credit the photographer,
if his identity is known. Copyright laws put the burden of enforcement on the owner, so it's entirely up to whether they mind or not, but play it safe. Also, if they have photos for sale, they most certainly are not making print quality versions downloadable, only a preview. You might think that official photos, say scans of CD covers, would get you in trouble, but I think that as long as they are reproduced intact, and certainly if they are reproduced at a relatively small size, that they would be seen as promotion rather than theft.
Once pics are in wide circulation, well pfft. It's kind of silly to get after us isn't it?
