They are both pages showing pictures with the intend of making a sale.
If your license allows the licensee to use the pictures to build his "paysite page", there is nothing that can restraint him from building a "tgp page". This is the same thing, only the format/layout is different.
As far as i know, affiliates can link to the "paysite page", so i don't see why you can restraint the affiliates to link to the "tgp page".

Paysite pages are a bit of a different animal. If you run a paysite, people know who to go to if they have a problem, correct? You have an agreement with your provider, it's all good. You have a license that you have committed yourself to uphold, and in essence you are responsible for what happens to the images while they are covered by said agreement. Are you going to be responsible for the use that affiliates are making of them as well? They are OUTSIDE the scope of that legal agreement.
As long as people abide by their licensing agreements (and not abuse them), content providers can continue to ensure that the quality of product they are offering to their customers is top notch, and isn't overexposed or being used in a manner that it demeans the value of their purchase, and essentially their trust as a customer. As soon as people start saying "What does it matter" it makes ALL of our jobs harder as content providers.
