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?
Dear John
Since I started this thread perhaps I had better briefly reply! The answer is no it is not about picture libraries or anyone who shoots speculatively and then sells his work for a fee with negotiated rights for a particular usage. Whilst some might argue that this is no different to then sell the images for RF, I would disagree that it's a totally different concept. I will leave it to others to carry on the discussion and to answer the other points in your posting, as I have work pilling up on my desk this morning<G>
