Seems to me the biggest issue is the posting of images that are still hosted by their servers. That way, they use up the bandwidth, but they don't get the hits for advertisement sales. I can understand their point of view.

You might want to ask how they feel about reposting of article content under fair use, without the Onion-hosted images.

All the Onion had to do was dissallow the ability for their images to show on external sites. Many webmasters do this trick. I think one time, a website used a dirty picture whenever someone tried to remote link their image... It was a disturbing pic as well.
