Apparently I can "purchase" an image of a "Mass Grave Site in Germany" filled with what I can imagine are Jewish bodies for as "little" as 150 euros, 475 euros if I want to "purchase" the large format. This is so wrong on so many levels, images like these should have been in the public domain since they were first taken, and you're completely right, it's morally reprehensible what a wealthy guy like Gates did.
Hell, I'm a collector of older photos myself, I'm orders of magnitude less wealthy than Gates but I'm pretty sure I've invested a greater percentage of my money in purchasing those old photos than Gates did, but I would never think of asking for money for people to access those old photos (I've started scanning and geo-locating some of them on this personal website [1], which is already 8-year old now, so it might not look so great but the photos do open).
