legality of content used as thumb for trades

I see thousands of tgp using sponsors content in thumbs that only go to trades & I was wondering about the legality of this. I am considering using thumbs on my own tgp to send out to trades & have plenty of licensed content of my own, but the licensed content is restricted to certain domains & is of certain niche, so, this would only be effective to a certain extent.

Should I buy a small set of single images to use as thumbs for this purpose, or, for the licensed stuff I do have, if it is restricted to certain domains, if I host the image from that domain, but it is displayed on another domain, then is that a violation of the license terms? Even though it would be a cropped/cut image?

As far as the tgp using unlicensed images, how/why do they get away with it, or is everyone ok with that?

Since most of the tgps that do trades on thumbs are using the thumbs from galleries - and most sponsors dont give a rats ass if its used that way - I wouldnt worry about it - there are, however a few sponsors that do care about it and have posted in the past on a few boards that they do not allow their content used in galleries to be used for thumbs if they go to trades - Im sure they will identify themselves eventually in here - as I really dont remember who it was ???

I understand that yes, like on my own, I have thumbs that go to the gallery but it's set to rotate so that 1 click to that thumb goes to gallery & next goes to trade,etc.. however, I am asking about thumbs that do not go to a gallery at all.. I seen them hardlinked to another site & linked to out.php, etc


Now,since you mention sponsors who do not wish their thumbs being used in tradescript skims, I'd like to hear from sponsors because this I do myself & if a sponsor does not allow it, then I am going to immediately rectify it so that I am not an offender,,
