Framing. Framing is the process of dividing a Web page into separate framed regions and displaying the contents of someone else's site within a frame at your site. Generally speaking, site owners don't like having their content framed at another site, particularly without permission. At least one court has considered framing to be copyright infringement.
Inlining. Inlining (sometimes referred to as "mirroring") involves incorporating a graphic file from one website onto another website. In 2003, a federal court of appeals ruled that inlined links to thumbnail images was permissible as a fair use. However, the law is not clear as to whether inlined links to full sized images is permissible.

7. Don't Count on Fair Use
"Fair use" is a copyright doctrine which, in its most general sense, allows copying of copyrighted material done for a limited and "transformative" purpose -- for example, to review a text, make fun of a pop song, or quote a portion of a novelist's work.
