A bit more definition, if you please.

Is it okay of one types "http://www.corbis.com" into a message?

Is it okay to type a page URL, where the page has a link to a Corbis image?

Is it okay to have an "href" link like this -> http://www.corbis.com <-- Link (this does not load unless the user clicks on it)

Is it okay to have an "href" link to a URL, where the page has a link to a Corbis image?

Good questions. A ban on linking is simply absurd. They might as well say, "We insist that you refrain from using the Internet in the future."

I simply do not want to have anything to do with Corbis. There is no need for their images or links to appear on FR.
Thanks,
Jim

That may become the defacto compromise at some point. That way, the address is provided but it is not a hot link. The reader will have to copy the address and paste it into the address field of their browser and click go. If the choose not to, then it is just freeform text.
