And you dont understand my point. There is no risk for you in doing a revshare or sponsor payment type thing on a hosted gallery. There is a big risk if you go and PREPAY IN CASH for 1000 TGP's to list your gallery.
There arent many people that will by content and pay for listings on 1000 TGP's - and if they do then good luck to them.
There are plenty of people who will risk a bit of hosting cost to provide a hosted gallery.
Therefore, there is far more chance of the hosted gallery scenario happening over someone actually prepaying for listings. Therefore more galleries get listed.
My point was content providers make those sort of assumptions when deciding how to license their content - its not like we dont know how other parts of the business work!!
Hosted Galleries are new and would not have been factored into content providers license agreements originally.
