The two are NOT equitable for the simple reason that one is proactive and the other is very active. We, as site owners, proactively state and ask people that when they join our sites, download all the content you want during the length of your subscription for PERSONAL use but DO NOT repost, exhibit, or transmit it anywhere else. It is a statement / request that is agreed to upon joining the site, regardless if you read the full terms and conditions or not (mortgage foreclosure anyone?).
The other is an ACTIVE premeditated CHOICE to post pictures that you know you don't have full permission to post in a public setting.
You cannot logically compare the two.
Our expectations as site owners are extremely reasonable. Exhibit some self control and don't post what doesn't belong to you, intellectually or artistically. Or, repost it within reason once you do have permission (i.e. - an affiliate). If you can't do that... then don't join the site.
