If that's the case, then Imgur/Reddit is like the new pirate bay. They've been rehosting images (often without attribution, although not maliciously -- someone usually provides it) for years.

That would of course be the tip of the iceberg.

Since Imgur and Reddit represent a fraction of a fraction of the total reposting / rehosting / et al.

Extrapolated to its natural conclusion, you might as well shut down the Web and all that it was designed for.
