I do not agree that they are stealing other people's content.

Their videos are indeed found on such sites as DVIDS and their photos are found on such sites as Alamy under the Storm Media Group. This is one of the arguments which Evspra used to accuse GN of being fraudsters. However, DVIDS is only a distribution service of those videos, and likewise Alamy is only a distribution service of all sorts of images. They do not own the rights to their content. What if GN were able to bypass both DVIDS and Alamy by actually having direct agreements with DoD, State and WH45 and their photographers to share and distribute their content? What if they directly owned some of that content? What if they were partner to the Storm Media Group? I do not have proof of this because I am not party to these agreements, but that's one avenue that Evspra never explored in his posts.

On the images, these are actually public domain and are free-to-use. What Alamy charges for those images is simply a commercial access fee. GN promised and delivered all of these in full resolution to a Flickr archive that they uploaded here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/whitehouse45/

I also do not agree that they are pretending to be an insider. It's considerably much harder to pretend to be someone consistently over a period of several years than it is to actually be that person for the same amount of time. They have released email screenshots and sneak peaks, but I would argue that if they are indeed who they say they are, it is particularly dangerous for them to reveal who they are and prove absolutely that they are legitimate at this stage of the plan, lest they compromise their mission and hand victory over to the DS.
