Unauthorized use of pictures and violent statements toward the pictured pump-wearer.

The site of those pumps was more violent then anything that could be possibly said Sad but true story

No violent statements were posted there. People were definitely commenting on how awful the pictures were, but if the hyperlinking of that users' image was problem, it could have been easily circumvented by just posting a link to his blog.

Question: Do I need permission to link to someone else's site?

Answer: In general, if someone is making a website publicly available, others may freely link to it. That open linking is what makes the web a "web."

Still, unauthorized uses of someone else's image by creating a link on a website is not illegal. No one has ever sued for linking to someone else's image when it's hosted on their site so there are no laws about it. A simple way to circumvent embedding someone else's image using .htaccess, which is what the problematic user should have done. Alas, using a crappy blog site I doubt they allow you to edit .htaccess. His loss.

Question: What is an "inline" image?

Answer: An "inline" image refers to a graphic displayed in the context of a page, such as the picture to the right here. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) permits web authors to "inline" both images from their own websites and images hosted on other servers. When people complain about inline images, they are most often complaining about web pages that include graphics from external sources. The legal status of inlining images without permission has not been settled.

This is not true; people certainly can and do sue. Whether the lawsuit has merit is not important when you are the one being sued. When a person requests that his own photo (of him or to which he holds copyright) be removed, we do it. It may or may not be the law of the moment or jurisdiction, but it is good manners.
