To me it's the same. The pictures set being "over-saturnated" in same amount either way.
In your instance above, yes, I agree. But that is a limited scenerio lacking a few realistic variables as I see it. 500 independent business people (affiliates) will surely find many more opportunities and sites...to display and re-submit the gallery then one site owner buying gallery spots.

If you agree that content has a limited shelf-life, and that content providers are entitled to a return on their investment, then I hope you will give me some latitude in saying that I think we should be entitled to a special license fee or surcharge to allow for our product to be used in the way hosted galleries are.
