I very much doubt the copyright holders are uploading those pics, most will have been stolen from wherever as you suggest. Some of them have site watermarks on them too - other than a surfer seeing the watermark and typing it in directly to their browser there is no way to get to the sponsor site, and their pictures use in this case would almost certainly be forbidden.

I might be missing something here but it looks like they have no paid advertising revenue and are relying on adsense (which is not allowed on sites with adult content anyway). Since adsense is contextual it is delivering ads associated with the text theme which is about money and cash "send money to Cuba" ads etc - not the most enticing link for porn surfers.

My guess is there will be very little paid out. Given a large number of submitters and the, what must be, dreadfully low click through rate for their mistargeted ads I cant see their being much in the pot at the end of the month. If the stated 30% is shared proprotionately between all submitters I expect each one will be earning tenths or hundredths of a cent a month and never make the $20 threshold to reach payout.
