how much do u think it costs JokersX, Matrix and Cloud9 to shoot that glamour stuff? a lot.
Millions of TGP gallery pages out there now - how many do u think have licensed content on them? 50% even? nope.
Hosted galleries? How many programs even bothered to ask the content provider whether they could use their content in hosted galleries?
The still photos providers are toast - now it's the movie studios turn to be ass raped by the thieves and those who support their efforts.
it sucks, always has sucked.
if you want nice content come to me
and it's guys like you who will suffer because you depend on quality content and there's not going to be any - you'll have to open your own studio or buy exclusive content.

Mutt, you are correc tin many ways here. But Matrix, and others will continue to provide the best quality product on the market, and yes it will costs just a little more than that crap that is taken by the guy in a hotel room with some cheap ass digital camera. No end user wants to see shitty photography. Shap is right in what he is saying. If you look at the big sights they are either shooting reality content or they are getting high end content from companies like ours.
The name of the game here is retention and you are not going to retain users if content looks like something they shot of the girl next door.
