I am sure StockCharts and IHUB are discussing the ramifications between each other and the impact on subscriptions.
I would like to see a merger/partnership between the two to share the litigation expenses and litigation insurance costs.

Thousands of chart research posts on IHUB posted since inception and existing StockChart member folders over the years were suddenly rendered useless as of December 24.

What is unfortunate is your misunderstanding of the issue. You're totally mistaken in assuming this is something within iHub's control or influence. IT IS NOT AN IHUB RESTRICTION. In fact, it has NOTHING whatsoever to do with iHub. I doubt you will find embedded stockcharts.com chart images on any third party websites now.

Market data providers are limited by their exchange and feed provider agreements. They are typically limited to publishing their data within their own domain, which is why iHub has been within the advfn.com domain since 2006. Otherwise we couldn't publish their market data within the iHub website.

What likely occurred here is that stockcharts was audited by the exchanges/data providers and is being required to abide by their agreements. In fact, they said as much:

We are currently discussing making the ADVFN streaming charts easier to use and embed withing iHub posts. The product is already there, but could use some usability improvement.
