I guess the only real question I have in the back of my mind right now - I tend to think of Google and a thumb tgp as the same thing - as I never touch the thumbs - its all done by script when the submitter is submitting - seems that would be the exact same thing the Googleimage bot is doing
More importantly is the question of the Google/Yahoo/Archive.org caches of pages - I think these would have a bunch more implications than the thumb tgps as they are actually (although again by machine) storing copies of pages including images and serving those images from their servers - sounds like secondary publisher to me but then Im not a lawyer.
