No body except you has the ability to alter your website. What they are
talking about is if you do not actually have the images loaded on your
website but are just linking the images. This is actually illegal in some
cases because you are pulling bandwidth from the site which houses the
images, costing them money. Therefore, they simply go on their own site and
replace the pictures with ones of their choice. If I discovered that someone
was using my images I would probably put up an "embarassing" image as well.
