I did a search and they have two of my images. One (from PUG?) is an early
early macro, maybe my first PUG submission. The other is my collage of
brick-wall shots used to illustrate something or other last year.
Rather than charging for the use of my images, I think it more appropriate
to charge them a license fee. Lets see. Assume that they make X US$ per day
in advertising revenue. (Talking gross here, not net.) Then assume that Y
individuals download content from their site each day. Then for each hit on
one of my images I expect 90% X/Y (with the other 10% remaining with them
as their commision). Does this sound about right?
