# Oh, it is. But you can see it as free advertising or theft.
It all gets a bit blurry though. B3ta's front page has adverts on it, and I would guess is viewed buy people who don't visit the board. Is that different to that site? There's even an Email This To A Friend option.
At what point does a posted image go outside the remit of the poster?

# Yes, but we post things on this board,
I suppose with the implicit permission that they can be used on the front page if deemed worthy.
If we have nothing to do with another site, they don't have the right to make money from our work.

# Well, if you want to stir..
Yes, it is different. I don't see a problem with adverts (well, I don't like them but, you know). B3ta is offering original work produced by people who know what the score is when they post.

The emo site is offering stolen work to achieve an income. I think there is a big difference in principle but, as you say, the scale is small in this case.
