Everything is okay except the hotlink. Programs leave their galleries open like that so (a) google image can rape them, and (b) so TGPs can thumb the galleries more easily. It isn't an invitation to you to hotlink thier galleries and waste their bandwidth.

There isn't any great reason to offer up all the pictures of a gallery stripped out of the gallery. The gallery layout is the sales pitch. What you are doing is cutting off the most important parts of the gallery for the programs (the sales area) and running up the cost side. Plus, most people who visit a gallery don't look at every image, so the fusker style method of displaying every picture every time is wasteful and expensive.

It is a great model for giving tons of a free porn to people who aren't going to pay, and assuring they won't pay by removing 99% of the sales pitch.

I would say that programs would be certain in their rights to block your site and even cancel accounts for this stuff.
