There are a shit ton of content providers these days. When I started, three photographers provided 80% of the content, but there are now hundreds. Post a thread asking for the specific type of content you are looking for.

I'm going to rephrase your original question:
Is it a good idea to base my business model on theft?

Not if you plan to be in business more than a couple of months. If you plan to actually build a business, most any business, you buy from wholesalers, add value, do marketing, and sell retail. Stealing from other sites is exactly the same thing as trying to run a store and stock it by shoplifting from other stores. Stupid, wrong, illegal, and much less effective than buying wholesale.
