wpwmagazineonline.com offers online versions of past issues of their magazines AND some of the unpublished photos from those magazine photo shoots. I had already bought virtually all of those hard copy issues but became a member because I wanted to see the unpublished photos. Indeed, I was able to see some relatively low resolution photos I had not seen before, but I was unable to download any of them. When I finally got through to the folks at WPW about it (no contact info is listed on the website) they said they had organized it so that subscribers could NOT download those images.
For now, you can download the actual magazines but NOT the unpublished photos. However, WPW says they are trying to reorganize it so that NOTHING can be downloaded from wpwmagazineonline.com – even if you are a paid member.
So, if you want to see some relatively low res previously unpublished photos and don't miond not being able to save any of them, joining may be worth it. But if you are like me, it is definitely NOT worth it.

Okay. But in this era of rampant pirating (he said, posting a plethora of copywritten images on multiple web forums) I can see where WPW would want to keep some of their intellectual property exclusive somehow (aren't the wpw.net photos still downloadable?), especially if Mr. Jentz is trying to pay some bills with images that may not have great moneymakers in the past.

. . .  (aren't the wpw.net photos still downloadable?) . . .

Yes, they are – also those still over at Ray Martin, too.  Tho, unless your after a particular individual, from a cost vs quantity of picture clubs issue, you're probably better off getting onto their WPW Platinum membership.

I agree. Not worth it.
