I honestly don't understand the issue- he linked to a specific page? What's the problem?



I believe they mean the lawyer hotlinked [1] their image so that every visitor to the lawyer’s page would result in an image download from their server.

He deeplinked to an image file, whilst claiming on his website that such action is illegal.


Is deeplinking the same as hotlinking?
