I agree with you there, if i paid a lot of money for content and then other people stole it that would suck.

Does the fact that the images were taken in public make a difference for fair use, public domain ? Obviously no one tries to copy the paris hilton sex tape or they get sued. But if she was having sex on the street and several people were taking pictures of it, wouldn't that make it public domain ?
