Is this wrong?

Ever since the issue of The Huffington Post (and, no, I will not link it) hotlinking photo’s was uncovered, I have been going over there and giving them a tip, berating them, etc, regarding that theft. Is that wrong? Cause it is so much fun, and they make it SO easy.

But, go to THP, and put your mouse over some of the photos. You’ll see, if you look down at the bottom task bar, that they are not hosted on her site. Very bad form.
