Ben Werdmuller, one of the Elgg duo, informs me that things are pretty much as I expected. Use of images off other sites involves copyright violation and "bandwidth theft".
Copyright is a notion I'm familiar with. Bandwidth and the affects of its use by site visitors and "digital borrowers" are new to me. I certainly don't want to be guilty of taxing someone's account. I know I wouldn't appreciate having my account taxed. For the moment that's not an issue for my sites; I have far more bandwidth than I currently need. A popular site, or a site with popular resources, could really be pinching the bytes, though.
