This is rather like the claim many of us have doubtless heard from people who don't want to pay upfront for quality software (or any other product you care to name). They end up paying more to retrofit the quality later. I wonder how expensive a copyright suit would be, if only one of those photographers whose copyright she might infringe were to sue.
