Happy (lie) to pay them. thanks jay. I think this is spot on and this type of hindsight analysis is always good. more important than it worked, is why:

That is, until they sold out to CBS. Now, I somehow doubt that they are still contacting 10 bloggers a day and even if they are, I'm not sure why anyone would want to support CBS. I'm all for using the net to promote material, but something doesn't sit right with me, when I'm allowed to embed Wallstrip content on my blog, but face DMCA threats if I try to upload Marketwatch content. It's great that the creators of Wallstrip made a little scratch off the deal, but as a viewer, I can't help but feel like they sold me out in the process.
