"Last year, a group of media organizations, including the Associated Press, New York Times and Tribune Co., filed an amicus brief in a case challenging the FAA�s legal authority to regulate drones. They complained that the FAA�s �overly broad policy� violates the First Amendment and has already had �an impermissible chilling effect� on some journalists� reporting."

or

"In countries where drone rules are less restrictive, journalists are already using them to gather news. Drones helped show the scope of recent protests in Thailand and Hong Kong. BBC has used the devices to do some reporting. And last year, CBS News used a drone to explore the contaminated areas around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in Ukraine."

You can be sure that gov wants to be able to watch you but they don't want you to be able to watch them.

As far as safety concerns, should we outlaw something because somebody somewhere might be injured someday?

What about kids riding bicycles, they get going pretty fast and some of those kids are big. What if one hits somebody and injures them? Better make bicycles illegal. And what about home swimming pools? You know how many people drown in them every year? Better make those illegal too. And silverware. Those knives and forks are too sharp to be used at the dinner tables of people who might suddenly decide to stab each other or do so by accident. Only plastic spoons should be legal.

Who's talking about outlawing them? The FAA is trying to determine how they'll operate in existing airspace and how to set reasonable regulations for operating them. All the items you mentioned have regulations, possibly with the exception of silverware. Bicyclists have hit and killed pedestrians, just recently in Central Park, leading to bike speed restrictions there. Kids are required to wear helmets while on a bike. Pools have regulations, and you can't get a certificate of occupancy for your house without meeting them, at least where I live. I'm sure there are even more regulations regarding public pools�requiring lifeguards and use of chemicals, for example.

I fixed the grammar and added some possible additions in brackets:

With a headline like that I was expecting announcement of a raise. 

It does concern me. I wonder what their deal will be with major ad agencies, who keep current on Adobe software (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). This might make it easier for art directors to find images through FT. Most agencies have agreements with Getty and some now with Shutterstock.

If Fotolia offers lower prices, I say starve them of content. But that's easy for me to say, because I don't have images there since we found out about DPC.

Wow, this Reddit discussion is bringing my site tons of traffic. Glad I found it and butted in.

Yes to the plane crash. The pilot had already crashed a plane, and from what I've read his family wanted him to stop flying, but instead he bought a bigger plane and ended up killing himself, his son, a mom and her two babies who were home when his plane came down. The husband who lived there lost his wife and two of his three children, and the house was completely destroyed. Very sad.

Thanks, Ron!

Toopy, I saw that someone visited my Symbiostock site through Reddit and i clicked on the link in my Wordpress stats.

I replied and the guy who suggested stealing it argued that I don't really own the copyright. Amazing.

The "G" I got from adding the minimal amount I could to the "C." I decided not to add the descender or to bring up the open side further.

Well, this is fun. 

This person "can't find" my font, but links to it on Shutterstock. And then you have people suggesting he just trace it. Lovely.

The drone was flying at 2,000 feet. Article also has info about FAA regulations.

Is it good big portfolio with lot of unsoldable pic, or smaller portfolio with the best soldable works ??

Yes.

I think both images are photoshopped to some extent. But if you look at the video of him stripping down to his Calvins on TV, it's clear reality is much closer to the "original" image, although the crotch area in that one has an awfully odd shadow. The people who posted it have taken it down to avoid a lawsuit.
