Is skimming using hosted galleries thumbs legal?

Jason no reason to run the though behind this thread was not to justify skimming one way or the other but was to see if using thumbs could cause a problem down the road with sponsors or content providers having their content used for it

well, i guess if i were truly to have stuck to the subject, i guess we should have only discussed the legalities . I guess i was more discussing why a provider would enforce those legalities, were it illegal.
