If google isnt paying, then dont do work for google. That simple.. Yeah they are a big company, yeah they should pay, but fuck if they dont wanna pay, DONT TAKE THE JOB! Let them get some fuck ass student to do the work for free.
HEres a quote from the NYtimes article
http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/1…But some, like Gary Taxali, were not impressed. Mr. Taxali, an illustrator based in Toronto whose work has appeared in publications like Time, Newsweek and Fortune, received a call in April from a member of Google’s marketing department. According to Mr. Taxali, the Google representative explained that the project will let users customize Google Chrome pages with artist-designed “skins” in their borders.
“The first question I asked,” Mr. Taxali said in a recent interview, “is ‘What’s the fee?’”
Mr. Taxali said that when he was told Google would pay nothing, he declined.
In the ensuing weeks, a tide of indignation toward Google swelled among illustrators, who stay connected through Drawger, a Web site.
In a posting to Drawger on April 28, Mr. Taxali bemoaned the Google request — and that some struggling publications were reducing fees to illustrators by nearly half.
