It seems silly that they want to forbid linking too. Suppose I see a picture at someone's site that is available to the whole wide world. I E-Mail the site information to you, you paste it and go to it. I have in effect, "linked." So I can't understand how it would be any different to link via a posting, or having you paste and go the site because I sent you an E-Mail.

Well, I never realized that they were the ones who decide. I thought the courts were. So far, deep linking has not been ruled illegal. I doubt highly it ever will be, since servers can decide (based on the information in the http request headers) if the request came from within or without and can redirect outside requests (or reject them).

They already have the power to stop deep links. They don't need the courts to do so, and the courts will continue to rule that way.

Until courts rule another way, I am going to assume that courts are going to continue to rule the way they have so far.

That's freaking insane. Then they shouldn't host the images on their own site.
