That's the easy part. Thumbnails being an active button on the website
are actually worth *more* than full size images (with some exceptions)
in all the pricing guide databases I have seen. Of course this kind of
blatant disregard for copyright and payment for intellectual property
simply forces the value of images down since site developers think they
can get them for free. I allow usage of my images on many websites for
nothing more than credit and a link back to my site, but the sites are
non-commercial or limited commercial and related to racing...thus are
good advertising for me. Real commercial sites who hear the average
rates tend to cringe and run away scared when they see a quote though :(
