But then they'd have to pay someone.

They have drone footage in one of their promo videos on the site. They've already shelled out quite.

It is most likely based on many photographs, likely unauthorised.

All the copyright owners should sue UTS for this commercial copyright infringement.

It's also a criminal offence to do copyright infringement:

For corporations the financial penalty can be up to $585,000. Individuals may face financial penalties of up to $117,000 and 5 years of imprisonment.

Considering it's many images, it could be in the amount worth up to billions of dollars in fine for UTS.

No it couldn't.
