MicrostockGroup

Came accross http://www.everystockphoto.com, another "free" stock image website.

This one has a twist. It's partnering with Fotolia and shows their paid images in a column to the right. Might be an interesting approach. There are an increasing number of infringement incidents with Creative Commons and commerical usage. The Virgin/Flickr incident for example. I wonder what affect this will have on leading skittish buyers toward buying a properly licensed commerical image.

Dan Heller has several great thought provoking entries on his blog about Creative Commons. http://danheller.blogspot.com/

I did a few searches on everystockp and see no reason for concern as to competition with any other paying site. It's really painful to wade through the junk that's there. Anybody looking for a usable image there must be really hard up and have way too much time on their hands.
