Brian I think only a handful of people have taken part in this thread so to say most people are stuck in a morass of low-paying agencies may not be quite true. Personally, I'm not stuck in any agency or in the habit of making technical excuses to clients or myself! Just picking up on what you said earlier (hope you don't mind). If a 100mb picture earns $40 a year, who is buying it and for what purpose? A file that size I would expect to be used in a top class art publication for a cover or a double-page spread or a massively sized poster campaign. If it is being used for any of those purposes, I would expect it to earn �1-6k, if not more. If it's earning $40 dollars, well, supplying 100mb files is a waste of resources all around because it's bound to be used at a fraction of its submitted size... As I said, to my way of thinking and limited experience, size does not equal quality, and AGE have a "sensible" policy for excepting scanned and digitally originated images. If other agencies followed, all contributors, including the agencies, would benefit.
