It's bad because surfers will loose the join possibility, unless they enter the url that shows on the pic, but affiliates won't make $$ and webmasters will lose $$ in bandwith.
This is not new, there are lots of software to leech entire sites looking for .jpg's, but this is worse because you have the link to all the pics online.
This is new but soon will be lots of free sites or 'bbs' using this.
Webmasters that see an excess in bandwith usage not matching the gallery hits, should implement something like some freehosts use, i mean you can't link directly to the .jpg.
