I've never thought about this issue more than a couple minutes to be honest so I am replying without knowing much about it. I would assume the paparazzi sell the photos to websites, magazines, etc.. and then that would be the issue of where public domain (fair use) comes in or not. So i don't think the paparazzi would be working for free, the picture they take would only hit the net unless they put it there or they sold it to someone (or someone stole their film out of their camera), so i doubt they are getting cheated.
