If they had to pay, I doubt they'd post as much, or even be able to post at all. Actually, I stopped giving Chicagoist use of my photos recently. I wasn't seeing any benefit to it. Though I still use CC licensing, so presumedly, quasi commercial sites could still 'em. It's sort of like third world labor: the pool of available workers (or photographers) is so vast, wages are low, and not going higher anytime soon.

I mean, treehugger for instance is now owned by Discovery. Does that suddenly mean they start paying for stuff they've used from flickr? Hi Seth–
