So… imagine your listening to a conversation between a couple microstock photographers talking dirt about one of their agents’ new subscription sales models. One photographer says something like, “Don’t they understand we don’t want to license our images for $0.25 a download?” Then another microstocker chimes in with a semi-rant and says something along the lines of, “There’s no way in tarnation I’m gonna let them use my images to undercut the industry like this! The quicker we abandon the ‘race-to-the- bottom’ ground-feeders the better for the industry as a whole.”
Um…am I the only one that sees the complete irony in this discussion coming from some microstockers? They may get up in arms if someone tries to get the unlimited commercial use to their photos for $0.25, but $3.00 is just fine by them.
File this under “Sheesh!” (The above was inspired by a true online forum conversation.)
