Platonides comment on fair use images, you say in point 2 that hotlinking is something that fits nicely withing the wmf mission, I say it should not be possible to hotlink fair use images.
How would you argue that serving _fair_use_images_ for someone else is within wmf mission? How would you argue that such use of the images does not violates the copyright owners rights to the images?

Allowing hotlinking seems to fit nicely within the WMF mission.

I see on that list pretty high the site
www.musicistheheartofoursoul.com
Looking at the page, they include many images from wikimedia servers, hotlinking them and without link to the image page.
Moreover, they aren't even free images but Fair Use ones uploaded on enwiki.
Shouldn't we politely ask them to make a local copy?
