A most appropriate article in the NY Times

I just posted this link on the MSG, but it’s worth repeating here.

This article is called “Slaves of the Internet, Unite!”, and it’s right on target for what we Symbiostockers are doing:

It’s a curse of the current age. And I guess that’s why many are overjoyed at 25c sales.

I am going to have to rethink my use of the word, “content” now though…

I read the whole thing and loved it!

[JoRodriguesParticipant]

Yes, I’ve been saying this for a while now. Best thing people can do to gain some self worth is go work for themselves and discover their worth 🙂

Oh, wow, Dave. That blog post is just soooo amazing. The Nat’l Assoc. of Realtors does have some king-size cojones.

Bully for our blogging-photog compadre. Nice response.

I had replied to your post over on MSG, but thanks again for posting – and the strobist item is priceless. Literally, unfortunately 🙂

This is making the advertising rounds…a smackdown from a digital artist who’s naming names.

That Roy Torres is a douche, here is a very bad presentation of him, its even out of focus for the first minute or so, using copyrighted work taken of Google. I am not sure if that is allowed as fair use, but at 3.26 there is an image from Tyler (Leaf)

It seems he is not taking copyright and paying for work very seriously, with is a disgrace as he is a photographer and art director himself

Geez. Several of the images he uses in “his presentation” show copyrights from stock agencies and other corporations. He even jokes about it.

What a scum bag this guy is.

But the double talk in the offer is just full of BS.

The idea and campaign would have the backings of a global agency, who would submit your illustration into multiple awards shows and publications getting you global exposure; and the high chance of winning some awards.

Sounds more like some spam for contest entries? Plus exposure and winning awards? Let me suggest this is an attempt at bribing someones ego, but the pay is still zero.

If the agency honestly loves someones work, they could show that by paying for it! Not making some poorly veiled pandering effort to get it for free.
