Free hosting services often doesn't allow to use hotlinks.

I'm not sure if I understand it well and what is the reason of such a disaproval.

I would like to have pictures for my webpages in Photobucket e.g. which is allowed to have hotlinks and use those pictures using hotlinks on my sites. Is it that what is not allowed?

What is a problem for free host server owners to accept such links?

Bandwidth of Photobucket is used only as I understand and it is completely legal. I'v read quite enough abt hotlinks, but I can't understand this simple issue.
