The only reason IS would consider talking or working with an advocate is because they can't live without us contributors. This used to be a piddling industry, 20 years ago there was no "microstock." Now it's become a multi-million dollar (billions?) corporate operation. Is this a case of the fox watching the henhouse? It's just an idea....I found Lobo offensive.

I'm not suggesting that IS create this position. I'm saying that we contributors demand this advocate. It may be difficult, if not impossible, to have a consensus of international scope but it's not such a novel idea. Maybe you haven't been reading the IS forums or you might be concerned...or are you a contributor? An advocate is an ideal way of keeping IS legal....and they wouldn't pay this person, we would. We would need to be unionized....wow.

Today in the IS forum I suggested that contributors get together and contract some kind of ombudsman....or advocate. It was deleted by the moderator....which sucks big time. Do any of you photogs with IS know of any conversations or efforts to hire an advocate....someone to watch over our interests? It wouldn't cost much per contributor. Am I crazy or is this a good idea?
