We'd all like to see every rare photo out there, most of us never will, me included. All these professional photo sites like W!reImage or Eastnews and the like are professional retailers that charge a very expensive fee to download the full size image, that's why you'll never be able to enlarge the thumbnails at those sites. Those sites primarily cater to the professional field of newspapers and magazines. Large companies have the funds to afford the outlandish costs. Most full resolution shots that have "leaked" onto the net have been traded through collectors at photo boards. Otherwise the price for an individual photo at these professional sites can cost upwards of $100 each, or more. So when someone posts any high resolution images, they're truly a gift, can you imagine having to pay the regular price for EACH photo? That's why some of these sites like WI watch the internet for illegally posted, copyrighted images. They don't want to lose their profits, once the images make it to the internet, the value goes through the floor. Perfect example, once again, EBAY. ALL of these shots we get here in high resolution are always seen within hours on EBAY. It's illegal, but there's just too many of them out there for them to police the entire web.
