Its pretty easy to protect yourself. I'm not really fond of laws when people should be able to communicate with one another and handle the problem, unfortunately this doesn't exactly work.
"Please stop hotlinking my images." "No problem! Sorry for any troubles."

Yea try that with porn forums in Asia. If you can even view the websites characters to find the right email address to contact.
Should be illegal, youre stealing bandwidth from somone. And big sites can easily shut down little sites and screw them on overage by hotlinking their pics. Can get their account suspended too. Then theyre losing money. Like shutting down their business, they lose income.
Itll be illegal once the laws catch up. Of course, like piracy, it wont be enforceable in all areas of the world.
