Hotlinking, inline linking, remote linking and many other terms are used to describe a way taking images, or other files and embedding it directly into a website. In other words, you are using their bandwidth illegally. Hotlinked files are files not stored on your own server.
There have been several reports across the English section of AAO of hotlinking, especially in trials. Hotlinking is generally forbidden and most sites will have a note saying not to hotlink.
"But what if I need Image X?"
The answer is simple.
Download it to your hard drive and upload it to a web/image server that allows hotlinking. Websites that allow you to do this without being banned include Imageshack, Photobucket, Fileden and more.
By doing this, you don't waste the bandwidth of another site. The servers you will use instead are specifically designed for these purposes so you don't need to worry about breaking any rules.

As far as I know, the best one is Photobucket.
It lets you upload images from your PC, re-upload images from the internet (which is good), organize your albums, make them private, public, etc... Here's the link: http://photobucket.com/
I've been using Dropbox for music, but I didn't know it was also good for sprites. Thanks for the help. Also, do I just copy public link like with music?

For future reference, it's also possible to make different folders inside your public folder in order to separate music and sprites; that way it'll be a lot more organized.
