What if the user doesn't own the image itself? (Say they found it on google for example?) I doubt it is still legal for you to own the image in this (though I am not internet law expert

).
You should insist that users attach the images to your forum instead of just linking to them. Then once they have been uploaded you can edit the original post to link to the images if you need to. Just a suggestion instead of going to all this trouble.
