I don't really understand why people copy other people's pictures onto their
own servers when they could link to them perfectly legally:
<img src="http://www.web-options.com/Snaps/content/images/large/488.jpg";
alt="Awesome snap by great genius Walkden" height="600" width="400" />
I suppose the only risk is the host changes it for porn or something, or
deletes it, but that's just the risk of any link on the internet.
there are numerous other risks — servers can be too slow or bandwidth-limited,
some sites don't allow such linking or have content that's only viewable when
logged in
pinterest works around all of these, as well as the deletion risk you mention,
which is particularly high for some types of pinterest images (e.g. from online
shops whose stock changes frequently)
