Blah, blah, blah. These people are talking like they just discovered the wheel. Tell me something I don't know. And what are these terribly concerned people going to do about it other than continue to lower prices?
Ironic that James West seems concerned that for photographers "getting a good price for pictures is more challenging." Challenging? Mr. West, your agency brags of having 31 million images. How can any of your photographers make any money?

With no content of our own we are 100% reliant on the goodwill of our contributors to keep us in business. I may not have all the answers and you may not agree with all my decisions, but my concerns are genuine and you are lowering the tone of the debate.

How can we find out which individuals were part of the think tank?
