That's where we disagree. What if someone started uploading images with text like "U-Boat Commander David is retarded!!!", posted them on some forum you frequent and the staff for some reason refused to remove them? Well?
Also, remember that there is no such thing as true freedom of speech. Everywhere you turn, there are rules and limitations.
On Imageshack, that is because of the Terms of Service. So, if someone repeatedly uploaded content that breaks Imageshack's TOS, they have all the right in the world to give that person a permament boot from their services. Requiring registration to upload images allows them to identify such individuals, and no casual viewer has to know who exactly uploaded what.
