Some sites grab photos from Flickr and use them w/o permission.

Spam sites will do it to - hot-link images and manipulate Google Image Search into pointing to their URL.

Thank you both!!! I was bothered by it because I had no clue what was going on :D
I just saw random huge numbers (for me) and was wondering what picture was popular. The stats did not say which one was popular.

thanks!
