The burden of proof
is on the shoulders of the person linking to the image that it's used in accordance with the license of the hosting site as well as in accordance with copyright law.
Asking for an added note explaining the status of such images where it isn't very clear from the hosting url is not putting the burden of proof where it wasn't before, since it was there to begin with.
