But the fact is, magazines pay for custom shoots, and theres no way they pay 1+ million for Angelina Jolie pics and then you come along and license the same images for less. When you pay 100,000s of dollars for custom Lindsay Lohan spread the pics are not licensed out after that. C'mon man... we are talking about Cover of Vogue images. lol
This is "crazy talk" as you say.
OK Magazine pays ungodly amount of money for celeb photos, the pics are not licensed to porn sites afterwards, Really man, I know people have opinions, but this is "crazy talk."
Anyone who believes otherwise is just reaching.

The Porn site, doesn't own the Content. They license it, through another broker that does own "web rights". Which is controlled based on volume they can produce.
The magazine makes its money either way, they just want more. The sell the photos to other magazines, just one photo - which we see all the time. They sell the secret nude shit they get in to others, they trade. They rights get sold to news stand papers, and the list goes on and on.
They don't pay a million, use it in one magazine or a few they own, and be done with it. That's just stupid business, and I know for a fact people Lic the content out.
Chances are, Vogue doesn't even own the org rights - It was Lic to them even, they do own the shoot in question - but someone else owns the rights to resell it.
That business - is larger than the magazines they own.
