Platonides comment on fair use images, you say in point 2 that
hotlinking is something that fits nicely withing the wmf mission, I say
it should not be possible to hotlink fair use images.
How would you argue that serving _fair_use_images_ for someone else is
within wmf mission? How would you argue that such use of the images does
not violates the copyright owners rights to the images?

Two things
1. There isn't a good way to get an image dump
2. Allowing hotlinking seems to fit nicely within the WMF mission.

Looking
at the page, they include many images from wikimedia servers,
hotlinking them and without link to the image page.
Moreover, they aren't even free images but Fair Use ones uploaded on
enwiki.
Shouldn't we politely ask them to make a local copy?
