a affiliate who uses my content for evil

Funny how you consider this an issue. Can you please direct me to the spot in your terms where it says one is not allowed to place your content on a page that may set off someone's Norton antivirus? If it's not there, then this happenstance has absolutely nothing to do with content theft. Your lack of sophistication leads me to believe you've been away from the internet for the last 5 years. I'm surprised you even know what a hosted gallery is because you obviously don't know who uses them and why they use them. Nor do you know who else makes them and why they make them. Marketing them in your sig with your terms (which by the way, I still can't for the life of me find on your site) is like advertising mailer creatives and then shutting down an affiliate for bulk mailing because the creatives were only meant for e-mailing friends and family. Sure it's your content and your site and you are most likely in the right, and that's cool so as long as you understand that you are alone in this position and will be fighting this battle alone as there has been an implicit agreement between thumb sites and sponsors that predates your offering of hosted galleries and will continue to exist long after you realize very few sites are capable of sending you significant traffic with the rules you adhere to.
