Because they refuse access unless you agree to their terms.  That's 
true of more and more organizations.  All of the photos taken on 
National Trust property in England have been removed from Alamy 
because the Trust refuses to allow photographers use photos taken on 
their grounds.  Usually it's because the organization wants to make 
money themselves by leasing the photos - like many museums don't 
allow photography so they can sell slides and prints in the gift shop.

I agree but there are more and more things we're having to walk away 
from these days.  British photographers are protesting the National 
Trust stand but I doubt they'll be able to change anything.
