I understand the need to produce original content can lead you far from your beliefs, but really? You're just working for the man now. Give me one example of a successful social network that even as much as TRIES to limit reuse of images. Right, you can't. Because it's everything an "early adopter" like yourself (we all are here) should oppose!
But I guess the urge to produce original content clouded your vision and/or ideals. At least, I hope so.
