Maybe you just "copy" those too.

If you have ever had any content shot for your site, you would understand that you have to pay for usage rights. Having been a photographer for 15 years, gives me the edge in experience with copyright here.

You my dear, are the idiot.

But seeing as you're a photographer... I'll explain it to you in terms that you'll understand; Do you think it's stealing if a surfer buys a porn site membership, and saves the photos on his hard drive to look at later? I'm not talking about distributing copies to all of his friends, or reselling them.

Saving the files to disk... would you have a problem with that?
