Spread the word, hotlinking without permission is bandwidth theft!
The icon world is hit with a lot of bandwidth theft that there's no excuse for. Respect the wishes of the artists who make the icons, they usually make them quite clear in their icon posts.
And remember, "Its just one image" justifies nothing. I can take "just one candy" from a store, and what would it hurt them? But if everyone thought that way, soon one person's candy would turn into a bunch of people's peices of candy... It may be a few kbs of bandwidth, but it all ends up at the end of the month.Trust me.
If only more of those who steal icons would be as willing to admit their mistakes as this person, not all of them are.
