What you are missing is that on thumb tgps that thumb could lead to the domain that has licensed the content as well as 10 other domains *depending upon the skim script* that hasn't licensed the domain.
This is a serious question.
Do you know what a thumb tgp is and how they work?
Do you know how cj's and cj2's work?

Yes, standard TGP cept instead of text links it has thumbnails. Now when you click a thumbnail ussually the first click goes through to the actual gallery, after that X percentage of every additional click on that page is sent to another TGP as a trade.
Licenses just like most contracts are always up for legal interpretation. Generally the language of such a contract is very important if it comes down to a legal dispute. If a license did not say that it was not permitted, and did have the clause I mentioned above then by all rights it would be decided on the side of the licensor. Since the page in question does have a link to the licensors domain as required in the contract, and since the contract does not stipulate that it must be the only link, nor that all traffic must go to the linking page.
So again this is just a license issue, but still does not cover the other liability I mentioned before.
