Any ideas?Yes. It is a copyright infringement. But also the moral quandry of using up somebody else's bandwidth by displaying their site resources on your own site. Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]
What about if you are using the image as a link to the other site? Do you have to get permission first? Is copying the image and using from your site for the link image better? Cheers Dougal Please be nice this is my first post :)

It's also dangerous. I remember reading somewhere (quite possibly here on CP) wher a guy had an image on his site that was being linked to from other sites the way Rama mentioned. It was costing him so much banwidth that he replaced the image with an obscene one. All the sites that linked the image now had that obscene image displayed.
You may be right
I may be crazy
