Hmmm, banning people for disagreeing with my flawed logic? You could be onto something there.

I mean, is plagiarism against the law if you're not making any money out of it?
In theory you can't use them without citing the copyright, regardless of whether it's for commercial use or not!

However, by providing an explicit link to the picture (for the user to press) rather than embedding it (so the user sees it automatically) would make it completely legal - as far as I can tell!
