person A has bought pictures from a content provider and is using them legally in his site/gallery/whatever

Person B links to A's site/gallery/whatever by using a thumb of A's pictures. Is person B breaking copyright laws? If he is, how about A, is he in compliance with the license even if he's knowingly letting B link him that way?

And does it matter if B serves the thumbs from his own server or hotlinks them from A's server?

I have only a strong guess about this but I'd like to know how it is exactly.
