To note: you probably (I'm assuming) hot-linked an image from some unfamiliar website that does not appreciate having their hosted images, as well as their bandwidth, stolen, (I think ebaumsworld might have this feature installed) just because their images are indexed by the GIS (
Google Image Search) ; therefore, some crafty / fed-up admins instead create a 'poster hover image' that states something along the lines of "
this image was originally posted at ___. go there to view images without hassle.", along with sometimes very unsavory images to deter those that would think twice about just copying+pasting image URLs from anywhere, all willy-nilly. It's not very friendly, but I suppose they think the same of those anonymous users who unsuspectingly are violating some website/blog/image indexer's terms of service by posting their content elsewhere on the net.
