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.
