Are people posting links of images located on other servers going to be branded bandwidth thieves?

Probably, though it is not a crime, yet.

Many web hosts provide for a means of preventing hotlinking of image files on their servers. Mine does, so I utilize this feature because external hotlinking to my photo files became a bandwidth problem for me.

As with most problems, prevention is way more than half the cure.
