A) Reposting copyrighted images without permission is illegal.
B) Copyright occurs at point of creation.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C) All images posted with out permission of the copyright holder are illegal.

A) Reposting copyrighted images without permission is illegal.

False.
Creating hyperlinks to images hosted in the internet is not illegal.

Copying them is if it's specifically stated on the site that they don't give you rights to do so. However, I believe that many court cases have ruled that posting an image on the internet without a copyright notice of some kind indicates that the image is generally up for grabs.

Many people write to ask me about whether it can be a copyright violation to link to a web page against the explicit wishes of the owner of that web page. This is not a suitable subject for the copyright myths article because this is not at all a decided subject...

Inlining
The quesiton of inlining, may, as noted, be treated differently from linking. Inlining involves writing HTML to insert an image that is fetched from another server. Thus when people view your web page, they see the image from the other site and the other site actually does the work of serving it.

Inlining is strange because in some ways the law might treat it as a lesser offence than copying the image from the other site onto your server and using it there. In that case, you would be engaged in a very straightforward copyright violation. With inlining, the original image owner's site does the work of copying the image to the user viewing it.

However, that seems backward, since the effect is the same, and to add injury to insult, not only are you seeming to use their image without permission, you're making them do the work. They're getting the bill for web service -- and images are the bulk of web traffic at most servers.

The doctrine of contributory infringement might apply more strongly here because you've now set up an automatic mechanism to cause users to copy the picture in a way not approved by the copyright holder. They don't even know it's happening, it's so automatic. It might be akin to you placing a photocopier on the street with a copyrighted photo in it, and a sign saying "press this button for a free picture." And sending the bill for the copying to the copyright holder of the picture to boot. You don't make any copies yourself, but it certainly seems to be even worse, from the copyright holder's viewpoint, than if you had done so.

Copying them is if it's specifically stated on the site that they don't give you rights to do so. However, I believe that many court cases have ruled that posting an image on the internet without a copyright notice of some kind indicates that the image is generally up for grabs.

Name one.

Does posting links to copywrited content count as posting something illegal, ie posting a link to a copywrited mp3 uploaded on divshare/yousendit/etc, or posting a link to something on Pirate Bay?
