And to further my point about ImageCash encouraging content theft, they have a an entire section reserved for adult images. I doubt content providers are posting their photosets there.
I would have thought similiarly until the recent Guba topics had explained how many of them -were- in fact posting their watermarked images to the newsgroups. The only real difference in the galleries at ImageCash and say a TGP site for example is there's no link to the sponsors. I wonder if they had a method of linking back to the sponsors, whether or not it would be ok. If so, it would seem he'd stand to make more money monetizing his site. It might make an interesting new TGP model. A system where the TGP owner pays approved submitters for views, rather than you trying to convert the sponsor or maybe even a revshare model.
