As I said before, adult lawyers and 1st Ammendment lawyers are out on this one. This goes way above their heads.


Just to add a bit more to this. Consider the fact that when you hotlink an image, you do not actually have control over that image. You are just telling the browser, "something goes here." Exactly what is on the part of the hotlink source.

If I hotlink content of Jane Doe and keep her records, what if the hotlink source changes that photo to John Doe without me knowing? Am I suddenly liable for not having his ID?

This seems pretty cut and dry to me.
