I was trying to get something for my girlfriend that many, many shady places seemed to be selling online. It's a poster with a simple graphic on it. They all sell the same one, and many even use the same stock photo of it with the frame, plant in the foreground, etc. etc.

Are they all just paying to access some library somewhere, or are they all just fronts/clearinghouses/3rd-party sellers of a single place's products? Some of these outfits sell thousands of items and there's a lot of overlap. But the vendors range across eBay, Etsy, Amazon, etc., and I'd find it hard to believe that one place has set up hundreds of retailers, leading me to think they're all just either buying from the same place or are accessing the same stock library of images.

Ideas?

Probably both variants are true
