What I really find remarkable was that all 25,000 images were collected by three guys with day jobs, in one season.

Agreed. Their $10 membership is truly a bargain.
I hope they have a licensing deal with TicketStumbler.
Now if someone could do that for Operas... I'm sure it'd only cost a few million bucks in ticket prices...
The waste, at least to me, is that the site is setup in a way that hinders the use of those images. They can only be downloaded one at a time (Dan does a LOT of clicking ;) and there's not even an API.

Part of me wants to contact these guys and say, "Hey, waive our ridiculously underpriced fee for using these and I'll code you up a smart API that figures out which image you want based on section names. And only use one watermark please." There's so much potential, but it's behind all these hurdles.
