GFY makes a lot of money, and some would say, a portion of that could in fact be made possible by the amount of copied news articles (drama) and hotlinked images and movies (from the web) often in the form of someone elses created images and definitely someone elses hosting bill...
hopefully you understand my curiosity, as I surely understand your side.
If the variable which makes this a crime is profit, well,... look around.

I don't want to come off like a hard ass... I just am one of the guys that gets to throw some stones in this case because I wouldn't hotlink to something without getting permission first. For example, I sent Playboy a letter asking if I could link to a cover of a 1976 copy of the magazine that I was rambling about on a blog. When I didn't hear back in time I just didn't use it. Didn't make me happy but oh well.
