re: the skim.

Big difference between a banner and what thumb tgps are doing.

#1 A sponsor licenses content and as some licenses point out some of that can be used on a banner.
That banner is then used on a domain name then to promote that sponsor.

#2 A webmaster buys content to use on a gallery.
The thumb tgp webmaster pulls a thumb puts it on his thumb tgp site..now if that were to click through just to the gallery that would make it the same.

But the difference is the thumb preview tgps use a script where some of that traffic goes to that gallery that the content is licnesed to, and some of the traffic goes to other tgps or pay per click sponsers etc.

This is probably what APIC is going to try and argue.

So once again I think the issue is the skim. The webmaster who runs the thumb tgp is benefitting from content by using it to send to other domains than the ones that licensed the content originally.

But then I guess some of us here have less than a quarter of a brain and can't figure this shit out. ;)
