                      ------------------------------------------

Ladies and Gentlemen:

     We have acted as legal counsel for Front Porch Digital Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the offer to certain selected
employees, directors and officers of the Company of a total of up to 350,000
shares (the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $.001 par value per share
(the "Common Stock"), issuable pursuant to the Company's 2000 Equity Incentive
Plan (the "Plan"). We have made such inquiries and examined such documents as we
have considered necessary or appropriate for the purposes of giving the opinion
hereinafter set forth, including the examination of executed or conformed
counterparts, or copies certified or otherwise proved to our satisfaction, of
the following:

          (i)  the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company as filed with the
               Secretary of State of Nevada on April 27, 1995, as amended;

          (ii) the Bylaws of the Company dated May 5, 1995;

          (iii) the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-8 covering the
               Shares ("Registration Statement");

          (iv) the Plan; and

          (v)  such other documents, corporate records, certificates and other
               instruments as we have deemed necessary or appropriate for the
               purpose of this opinion.
