Is this thread against libraries, some of which are individual photographers selling their own outtakes or uncommissioned pictures taken on their own initiative and their own expense, or against royalty free, which is a more hasslefree way of marketing (we don't do it and I wish it was not there), and is getting more and more expensive (see BAPLA threads, and Jim Pickerell's Selling Stock), or both?
What are we to do with all the pictures we fight so hard to keep the copyright of? I wonder whether travel magazines will commission a new picture of the Eiffel Tower every time they need one?
