This argument would work perfectly if in 2005 all the online content shooters were selling their work to offline paying up to 10 times what online paid.

I'm not a class of one, there are 100s of shooters who were selling to mags and not bothering to sell online. Go figure out why yourself.
Just because you can sit in a Formula 1 car and drive a Ford on a motorway, it doesn't mean you're Louis Hamilton. Simplified but you get my meaning.

I know why they don't bother selling online.... they don't know how to and they don't have the ability to monetize it fully and it doesn't cost much to shoot pictures, so they have to spend little on-going money to make money.
With the proper adult company, a DVD can earn 5-20 times what it cost to produce. I highly doubt that a magazine photographer earns 5-20 times over the cost of the shoot, on a few photos.
