This is frighteningly true. I’ve already become a Creative Commons evangelist to the editorial department at my work (a billion dollar digital entertainment company) with regards to finding photographs for a popular blog we also maintain.

I already know our marketing dept. is dissatisfied with the wire service we get stock sports photos from and an alternative in the same price range would make them very happy. I’d like to see this take off :)

It’d definitely be a reason for me to start adding photos on Zooomr as well as Flickr.

However, marketing of pictures is all that matters. Good post Thomas… I think you should file that in the “Anticipation for Mark III” category though. :)

Not least that there are some fine photographers out there with a product that's not being catered for or marketed - yet!
