There are private boards with high resolution photos of everyone under the sun, primarily of the female persuasion. Many (probably most) digital images are pirated from paysites like Wireimage and all the others. Passwords are also sold and traded to obtain access to these paysites as well. Boards like "Church of" and "Superior" are just reposting them yet again. Most of the photos sold on EBAY are illegal reprints of copyrighted images from all those paysites, it's become so saturated now that it's almost impossible for the legal sites to fight EBAY anymore. For example, go to EBAY right this very moment and you'll see all these brand new shots of Love at that Power party for sale. The pirates start selling them within hours of downloading these images off the net. Private boards know full well about their sources and even try to police and remove any legitimate paysite images. Copyright infringement can be very costly.

That's true Jeff, yet buyers beware, most photo collection CD's sold on EBAY are not high resolution like these big high resolution images we've seen through the years. Most collectors are hesitant to sell high resolution, when they can make a bigger killing printing and selling them as photographs. If they were to sell high resolution images on CD they would be inviting even more EBAY competition from any wise buyers.
