[Stouch]

Chopsmith has got the right idea here by having terms on the usage of his hosted galleries. Torn didnt have terms in place, and wasnt aware of skimming.

With regard to the use of thumbs for skimming, it seems that the majority of programs are cool with it... I know that Bangwang posted in the other thread about Silvercash (I think?) being ok with it, and a couple of owners of programs I regularly use are ok with it. As for illegality, that again is down to the program owner, but they should have terms stating thus.
