Is it ok to use the thumbs & bandwidth from other tgp sites if I keep their affiliate links in tact?

Why would you want to promote their affiliate links on your site? Don't get me wrong; I don't think you should use other people's resources without their permission, but why would you want to help them out at a loss to yourself?

I am using your affiliate links too which will generate sales, does this make any difference?

It works both ways, there is no real loss to me because I make advertising $

Guys, use .htaccess to stop hotlinking. I don't blame the bandwidth thieves, I blame you for not securing your site. All it takes is replacing all of the images he hotlinks with goatse or ******* and he won't be doing that anymore.

So even if I generate sales for you through using your images and YOUR affiliate linking code you would still object?

Anyone in their right mind would object. You are stealing content. You have no clue if those girls/guys have documents. You have no clue if they are slaves from outer mongolia YOU HAVE NO PAPERWORK.
That is one point. The other point is if you lack the ability/desire/motivation/smarts/money to obtain your own hosting get your own sponsors and pay for your own fucking bandwidth and all you want to do is steal from someone else well....good luck in staying in this business.
Htaccess is our friend.

Shit, I wouldn't care, so long as my affiliate IDs are intact...

Hey newbie, there would be very few if any TGP's with paperwork, or that own their content. In almost all cases the sponsors own the content and they provide it to the tgp's to use to promote their pay sites.

Does google images steal content? Well that is another kettle of fish all together!

So If I created a porn gallery search engine, you would prefer me not to include your site?

Yes, I would definitely object. You are not using my content. My thumbs were created for my sites. Why would I be ok with you using them to generate traffic for your own sites?

Why not create your own thumbs from galleries?
