Hotlinking Images From FHGs

I'm fortunate enough to get a sub here and there where the HTML page is hosted on the submitters own domain, but all of the gallery images are hotlinked from wannawatch.com, TCG's FHG domain. The subs are promoting TCG's sites, but I tend to interpret this type of submission as a form of trickery. As if the submitter hopes to fool me with the fact that the sub'd url is his own. Don't these people realize that galleries get reviewed?

But another thought came to mind (which doesn't happen often). Do you imagine that perhaps the submitters that do this don't realize that they shouldn't, no matter whether the sponsor cares or not? Or do you think that they are just cheating schmucks who are willing to play blacklist roulette in order to scrimp on bandwidth?
