Am I right to be pissed?

I will never understand programs full of sites that are comprised of non-exclusive material. What's the point? I have trouble taking seriously those paysites with tours full of rbc content that they paid a penny a pic on.
(yes, there is a time & place for overexposed content, but tours and major program sites are not it)
Exclusive content eliminates so many headaches. The little bit of purchased we use or 'shared' (a common practice among amateur sites) has brought us nothing but problems.

btw- shooting in house gets you exactly what you are looking for, and I've found it to be a much better value than contracting out.
