The only other thing that concerns me is the lack of a TOS on Torns site. As a newbie if there are no terms stating how a sponsor does or does not want their site promoted, I would have to assume that standard practices would be acceptable.~Ghost
I'm wondering:

Did Torn and DangerDave fully realize the implications of their view on skimming?

They have made all thumb tgps unable to use their free hosted galleries but they have also made all thumb tgps as content police for their programs.

If a submitter submits a gallery made using free content provided by either of these programs the tgp owner is in hot water if he lists this gallery.
The TGP owner and their host would no doubt receive a C&D for listing either sponsors gallery.

If a tgp would receive a C&D because listing a submitters gallery that submitter would not get their galleries listed at that tgp anymore.

In order to protect themselves all thumb tgps have to blacklist both katcash/katvixen and dangerdave's program(s) and all other programs who have a similar view.
