You have to realize that not all photos are put online to be sold at a profit, and not everyone is claiming to be a pro.

I have family galleries on my site that are sold at cost because I'm not going to charge my mom a profit on photos I took of her on mother's day. Granted, my family photos are hidden, but other people post shots they took while hanging out with friends and they aren't trying to make a profit. They just want thier friends to be able to print out photos too.

Another case, I shoot events and new members at my chruch and I do it for free as a service to the church. I post images of events and of the members in the galleries at cost and so they can even download them for free. I'm purposely not trying to make a profit off this.

Just playing devil's advocate here.
