There is also a danger that if you hotlink from somebody else without permission, he might notice and either deny the link, remove (or rename) the image, or even substitute a rude image if he is feeling particularly irked.
I once noticed a bunch of hits on my site coming from MySpace, and found someone was hotlinking an image from my site, so I removed it (it wasn't an image I needed for my website, just parked there when I posted it to another forum).
