When You Buy Content...

Compare these two senarios then they're the same i think.

1) Affiliates push 100.000 hits per day to a hosted gallery with a normal picture set license.
2) Paysite owner purchase traffic from tgps same amount 100.000 hits per day to his gallery with the same set and license.

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.
