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.
