Or resign their memberships. If thousands of members (many of whom must surely been keen snappers if not full-blown hobbyist photographers) stopped paying what are quite sizeable membership fees then the trust would be hundreds of thousands of pounds down in just a few years.

The idea that you can visit a well-known countryside location but can't share your photos of the occasion on-line or perhaps sell a copy of the shot to your friends is just ridiculous as many of the shots could well be taken from public rights of way anyway!

Of course, the trust must have some control of how photos are used in areas such as advertising, as they may very well not want to be associated with certain products but I would think the general laws of the country would cover these situations in most circumstances.
