Thanks for posting that Will, I hadn't seen that.  I thought Bobbigmac asked great questions, and enjoyed reading Jon's responses. 

I just wish Jon could tell us the future.  It would be such a great help! ;)

Absolutely. Mind you, Jon didn't really give too much away. I'd like to have asked him where he thinks microstock might be in another 5 years from now and what threats or opportunities it might face.

Yes true.  Any insight he has on that point would be very interesting to read.

Primarily being a video shooter, it was of interest to me that they are closely watching market developments and might start paying more attention to the HD video side of their business.

Wow! What a bunch of fluff. This was my favorite quote:

We spend a lot of time, energy, and money to make sure every image in our library stands up legally, because we know customers count on us for that.

They spend a lot of time and money cleaning up messes after the fact. Maybe, they should spend a little bit of it on prevention too.  ;D
