Its about copyright.. if you own it, you can distribute it, link it, hotlink it, whatever the hell you want. If its hosted on another persons' site the presumption is that THEY own it, and it would therefore be unethical (and most times illegal) to hotlink it -- because the presumption is then that the image is YOURS. However, linking to a site' frontpage is like giving someone directions to a business.. as long as you're not claiming the business is yours.
