That was my point, no need to pay.
But the site interface is well done. I was thinking something like that for us could be cool.
Maybe hosted @ si community or RRay.
That's just an idea. But I pretty like what's happening at the moment with the softimage community. Small community, very helpfull and active (lots of tuts and giveaways). I believe this kind of tool could help being even more organized.

Just a thought

It's free to join utopiapeople and we represent you on a non-exclusive basis.
We take a 15% fee on agency bookings (not permanent)."

I am absolutely against this sort of thing. Paying someone else a hefty fee just to get introduced to a company that desperately needs you? Be careful what you wish for, it might not work out for us in the long run, and I think that as an industry, we really better off discouraging these people as much as possible.

What's next? You supply your own software and workstation? Oh yeah, wait... That's already happening to some people.
