Thank you for the detailed editorial on PACA's initiative. There are a number of assumptions drawn here that are inaccurate, too many to reply to within a comment on a blog post. PACA does recommend that for those interested in hearing more about this initiative, please join us next month where we'll be joined by the CCC and ASMP (who've been left out here) in articulating this vision.

I would encourage Nancy to at least make an attempt to reply to Jim's post. He has made a number of pertinent points and if there are responses we should know abut them. Not everyone with an interest in copyright and collecting societies is in a position to go to PACA. I work with the IPTC Photometadata Working Group and we are following the activities of social networking sites with some interest, with regard to their treatment of metadata and copyright information.
