I think that they should get their shit straight before they go pointing fingers.
I'm gonna contact Nasty Dollars and see what they say about it, if it'll be ok to do. If not, I guess that I'll have to drop them to make them happy, but i'm sending them a couple of signups per day, so you'd think they'd be happy with that.

First off, one shouldn't trust anything they receive unsolicited in email. Much is forged...much is sent in bulk (likely what happened in your situation)...and much is just plain nonsense.
Secondly, contacting Nasty Dollars is a good idea...and if really concerned, either pull the thumbs -or- get a FAX/mailed letter for your files from Nasty Dollars and/or other sponsors granting you permission to use the thumbs/pictures.
Thirdly, use of thumbs to
point to the respective image and/or related content is
likely fair use...HOWEVER, using someone else's thumbs to
point to say a sponsor program or whatever instead, which has not licensed that content,
may not be fair use.
