I remember being a victim of this recently. I posted a link to an image in my journal, and people viewing it were subjected to a picture of a man's cock. Personally I think that if somethings available online it's fair use to link to it; that covers images, deep linking, and all kinds of things that are related.
For example including somebody elses text in my Online TV Guide or the way you linked to Fayes image here - are both examples of things that are OK, and exactly what the web was invented for.
However I guess it depends upon the scale. If it were just one or two people I'd be fine with it - if it were lots of people then I might change my mind.
Perhaps mailing the individuals you spot linking might be a better place to start..?
