Our license on the site is not the new one - we have been waiting for lawyers to clarify it.
And you are right - it is up to us as content providers to do something about it and we are - we havent shot a new set for the site and general sale since May and we probably wont for a while yet.
It is basically not worth it, the sets get overused too quickly and there is too much price competition.
I basically have to sell a set 15 times before I get back what I charge for exclusive work.
We have just introduced a semi exclusive program, which is only allowing 5 sales of each set at a fairly economical price compared to both our non exclusive and our exclusive sets. The license on the semi exclusive sets is fairly restrictive so it is fair for everyone who uses them.
Its amazing what TGP posting does though, I have models being discovered a lot more regularly than ever before, and often by large numbers of people and in every instance I know of it has come from TGP galleries.
