What is Hotlinking?

I did a little research on hotlinking yesterday and discovered that many people are getting very frustrated by this, understandably so. The resolution is simply to try and block out or contact the person hotlinking from you. As I looked at it people are just doing things incorrectly. There are a bunch of image hosting sites out there that are designed specifically for you to hotlink from them. My personal favorite is image shack. So if someone hotlinks to you either pull a ’switcheroo’, meaning changed the photo they are linking to, or contact them and suggest they use a host site.
