As for using sponsors bandwidth, that's not really an issue in regards to skim. The only way that a skim site would use sponsor bandwidth is if the sponsor allows hotlinking of images or vid clips and that's completely within the control of the sponsor via their server config.

That is a valid point... I DO feel like 0% to content CJs are stealing content.
