Likewise, they publicly admit that most (every?) photo on their site is stolen from other sites, but claim "Coaster Force is a non-profit, educational rollercoaster site... We therefore do not push ourselves to only use our own photographs, as we strive to find the highest-quality photos available. ....If we see a photo that we like, we may use it, without contacting the copyright owner. Potential webmasters beware; this is a frowned upon practice, which we employ only due to the nature of this site." Um... that's pathetic.
I really like the idea of the site, but I hate how it has become successful by leeching off of other sites.

Doesn't matter. Still can't use a photo without the photographer's permission in ANY public way.
I might need to go take a look around...

I'm sure they're glad you circumvented the asterisks. :)

Didn't remember the name, but as soon as I saw the site, I remembered. And he's even serving them from his server - that's a plus. I don't know how many times I'll browse my server logs and find people linking directly to files from my server. That's the absolute worst - not only are you stealing my image, but you're stealing my bandwidth too!
The funny thing is all I want is a request. I haven't turned down any but the most ridiculous requests, yet I still find people without the common sense to just drop a quick line and ask. Sigh.
That sucks, I never knew the site in question had such a lax attitude towards borrowing pics. :(
