Not necessarily. Most of the links posted here are free. Most of the people here will expect the links to be to freely distributed content. Submitting a story here without saying "[pay to see]" or something similar at the end is akin to claiming that the content is free.<p>To further extend the analogy, it would be like announcing the donut shop in a forum where people are talking about free food. Then being baffled when people took that to mean tha the donuts would be free.
