If people complain, tell them that there is no other way to stop AOL users from damaging the system, and that AOL itself does not care.
I say we might get some advertizing that way.

Also, I think it's bad protocol to break the web (which kind of relies on linking from one place to another).
As an aside, AOL is already blocking all links from Livejournal.com (not just images): http://slashdot.org/articles/03/08/29/2057242.shtml?tid=120&tid=187&... . Insert your own metaphor about walled gardens and/or gated communities.
