What are your thoughts on pulling feeds from mainstream sites and them not allowing you to keep the hotlink in place?

I don't have a real opinion on it, other than I would think having your site syndicated would be of enough value to allow for hotlinking.

Obviously in adult, we allow the hotlinking because we (program) gets the sale.

If I pull a feed to my mainstream site, I leave their aff codes in place, what would be the benefit in blocking my hotlinking at the import level?

I have noticed a few sites do this. So I am mostly curious as to why they might discourage it.
