What else do you think is gonna happen when companies like Getty and Corbis buy out a massive chunk o fthe world's creative material.
They're not doing it to create the betterment of the arts or push creativity to new levels - they're doing to to have legal footholds so that they can litigate themselves a profit.
Corbis is a loss-leading company. They don't make money - they only spend it.
They're a tax write off for Bill Gates.So basically, Bill needs a write off so he supports and pours money into a money-losing company that still can't make a profit after draining people of their money with cheap cheesy photography and litigation.
It all goes back to Microsoft, man. All of it.
