For the very most frequently used photos, I suspect, things could add up. Anyway, I've invited Steve S. to reply if he'd like. It'll be interesting to see how he responds to your points above.

Frankly, I'd rather they steal the photo than link directly to it and increase my bandwidth costs. On the other hand, most of the outright pirating doesn't happen on publicly accessible websites..The websites might link to pirated music/photos/etc on, say, Megaupload, but they're not hosting it directly. Just seems like an updated version of the folks who use javascript to pop up messages when you try to right click on their web site.
