My initial reaction was to ask who was using TS images, but then I thought I didn't want to give them traffic just to see what they stole.
I did have a question along this line though. (I should be posting this over in JF instead of the TS forum). How could someone get permission to use a image for thier website? For example, I have a blog entry that I keep planning on doing, and putting a picture of Pig going "EVIL" at the end would be great. Putting a link back to JF would be a given.
So what would it take?

For personal use, permission and credit (with a link if you feel like it) is pretty much it--you're welcome to use the Pig in your web log if you wanna, but he'll just make it evil.
The only other thing we ask is that you host the image on your site or something--the web pages in question (one is a call girl in Australia and the other is a personal page we can't figure out) pull the image directly from the Keen server, which is bandwidth theft, rude, and just not fair.
Joey might wanna add a couple cents, but I think personal pages fall under the "fair use" clause in the copyright law. We're not making any money at this, so as long as you aren't either, I'm okay with that.

Here's to the worst times of my life.

No if I did this, (I've forgotten what the topic was, and why I wanted Pig for now. I should write these things down). The image would be on my server. It only make sense.
Providing credit and a link also only makes sense. So now I just have to remember what I wanted to post about that I thought Pig was needed for. It will come to me..eventually.
