I know, I'm just a big fan of Google and was hoping they could set up an agency that paid a fair share to its contributors. Surely they could wipe out the competition if they ever did. But as you say, they survive by giving stuff away, and I'm not interested in that scenario, of course.
Trust me, if Google ever set up an agency it will probably make the Getty board look like Mother Teresa, last time I checked they weren't even paying the artists that customize the logo for them.
Didn't they just get slapped for copying a few gazillion books without bothering to ask the authors?
