I don't think the people who snag graphic are profit makers for the administration. The fact is that tracking down graphic theft and getting anything done about it is very difficult. One notable example reported on Renderosity closed the list only to have the list owner open up the list elsewhere and make it so that only her selected few could get in. How do you track their activity if you can't look at what they are doing? I would be very reluctant to blame the administrators for what members are doing to each other. You don't want to hear it but these aren't mysterious being who come into the site and steal things ... they are your run of the mill Internet users, many of who are parents, upstanding citizens, hard workers, who probably also take pencils from work, run red lights, make personal copies and faxes at work, etc..... in other words, they are you and I in other skins. And a lot of them think everything posted on the Internet is free for the taking...so they take and have no conscience about it and will, in fact, defend what they do by saying the artist should feel complimented by their interest. I'm not saying it's right. But neither is stealing pencils, running red light, or doing personal copying at work. We can focus on this until another horse dies but I think blaming the administrators is taking the responsibility away from the people who are actually doing the theft. As far as I know, when the moderators have been alerted to such activity, they have tried to notify the owners of other sites and get some of the activity to stop. It is a huge problem and no one site is going to be able to stop the activity when people with no conscience and no sense of responsibility and no respect for others insist on continuing the activity. I had to get that off my chest.
