Even if this were true, which I doubt.  Who would enforce it?

Wait what? I don't get it. I thought that linking through an image just consisted of basic html tagging via an img tag nested in the url tag.... which is free last time I checked....

My web page uses visual images am I the only one paying the Licence?
No. You are required to have a License, as is your Internet Service provider, your Telco whose phones connected to the web and anybody else contributing to the use of  the patent. All search engine portals and web sites that have search facilities and images will require separate Licenses.

ZOMG! Quick switch to non-visual images!

Oh that's right...

In order for the patent to stand in the US, it needed to be applied for and granted in the US.  So even if that does stand, it wouldn't apply to us, so eff them.
