      It’s old internet etiquette. I think the point is that hotlinking asks someone else to serve content without giving them traffic, if that makes sense.

        Does Randall putting “Image URL (for hotlinking/embedding)” directly below each comic on the xkcd site count as permission?

      It actually gets funnier than etiquette like the old poster mentioned. Some folks got pissed enough from people doing it that they would replace the images with goatse.
