Dick is right about the legal aspect. You would go broke countless times over trying to go after photo infringement.
From what I'm reading, it sounds like the bad boys are winning......people are starting to stop posting images, withdrawing to their little world and participating less overall with those of us playing by the rules and hoping for some help. That's a shame. The world is what it is. I for one refuse to let them keep me from enjoying my hobby and participating. I spent a lot of time on my little guide to light tins and shared it with everyone with very little appreciation. But I ENJOYED doing it and truely believe I helped someone along the way. Yes there are collections with trophy pieces or collections of absolute size and grandure to appreciate but I'd say the majority of us are much more modest in our aquisitions. I'd share the most common item in my small collection if I'd thought it would help someone else out. I'm not criticizing anyone or taking sides, just trying to get people to think about WHY they collect.
