I included TMZ in the label because they profit from the rights of photographers. (Which is fine and dandy, just as newspapers profit from the right to expression,
priests profit from the right to religion, Smith & Wesson the 2nd, etc.)
TMZ only focusses (pun) on big-audience national celebs, but bloggers and other
citizen-journalists can devote more time to local interest.
