Cropping from a softcore photo would seem to keep you exempt from 2257 docs. However, then there is the whole "softcore thumb" linking to a "hardcore gallery" issue. The way have read it is that your softcore thumb would also have to link to a totally softcore gallery also. I cold be wrong on that though. However, I could see that being a huge plus on getting traffic to the actual site if that indeed is the case.
Some may have other opinions though.

In my opinion
1. A cropped softcore thumb from a hardcore image is a no-no
2. A softcore thumb linking to a hardcore gallery is OK
Rationale: we're talking about the content here -- the thumb itself resides on your site and its softcore, that means that you (the owner of the site) are not required to have 2257 docs. Where it links to is the responsibility of whoever owns THAT site.
But thats just my opinion.
