If it were simply a matter of linking to stuff on the Corbis site, then it'd be easily remedied. But Corbis is now holding FR's feet to the fire if some third party abuses Corbis's copyright and some FR poster links to it.

This alone places undue and unreasonable prior restraint on both FR management (with respect to and including FR users) who may link to a non-Corbis site which may (or may not) have Corbis-derived images that are not thus marked.

This isn't just about copyright. This is actionable infringement on the First Amendment.
