Words to live byWhat does this white supremacy mean in day-to-day life? One recent study found that in the United States, a black applicant with no criminal record is less likely to receive a callback from a potential employer than a white applicant with a felony conviction. In other words, being black is more of a liability in finding a job than being a convicted criminal. Into this new century, such discrimination has remained constant. That's white supremacy. Many people, of all races, feel and express prejudice, but white supremacy is built into the attitudes, practices and institutions of the dominant white society. It's not the product simply of individual failure but is woven into society, and the material consequences of it are dramatic. Subscribe Buttons                    | |
I never said you shouldn't get paid
I said you can't charge for usage on the web the way you charge for magazines. I mean, seriously, this comment is ridiculous:
No, it's not the most sensible way. There is no way for image companies to assess eyeballs --or at least they are so behind the times they refuse to use good, sensible tactics like EMBED widgets to support claims like those.
The Clooney pic on this post is a chaff photograph that is not worth $150 dollars. Maybe $5 or $10. It's just an inocuous image of him coming out of an SUV. Sell these images just like iStockphoto --don't go for exclusivity but for volume.
Exclusives? Charge for those as you like for complete use of the image --and over a discounted version with an EMBED widget instead.
Photo companies claim with lawsuits like these that they are defending their copyright ---but have they really done all they can to protect it in the first place?
The answer? No.
