          Re:  ISSUANCE OF 175,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK OF FRONT PORCH DIGITAL
               INC. PURSUANT TO A SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         We have acted as legal counsel for Front Porch Digital Inc., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), in connection with the issuance of 175,000 shares
(the "Shares") of the Company's common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the
"Common Stock"), pursuant to a Settlement and Release Agreement dated as of
January 30, 2004 by and among the Company, Andrew Vasko and Vasko Enterprises,
Inc. (the "Settlement Agreement"). 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 Articles of Incorporation of the Company as filed
                         with the Secretary of State of Nevada on April 10,
                         1995, as amended;

                  (ii)   the Bylaws of the Company dated May 8, 1995, as
                         amended;

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

                  (iv)   the Settlement Agreement; and

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

         We have assumed the genuineness and authenticity of all signatures on
all original documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as
originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as
copies and the due authorization, execution, delivery or recordation of all
documents where due authorization, execution or recordation are prerequisites to
the effectiveness thereof.




         Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for such legal
considerations as we deem relevant, we are of the opinion that the shares of
Common Stock covered by the Registration Statement have been duly authorized and
when issued and sold in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, will be
legally issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Commission as
an exhibit to the Registration Statement.


                                           Very truly yours,

                                           /s/ Pryor Cashman Sherman & Flynn LLP


                                       2
