I guess not all crowd-sourcing is a bad thing. 99 Designs is spec-work and crowd-sourcing. It's the spec part that's the problem. Their home page says "94 designs per project". So I guess 93 people are comfortable not getting paid for their work.
- ehh, I'm going to stop caring. If a couple hundred designers are that desperate, they can have at it.Josev

Its much like stock photography I guess. Great for the big guys but shitty for anything small and personal!

If your client refuses to pay and keeps demanding random changes, you could threaten to upload all the stuff you did for them to a crowdsourcing site so their competitors can have it for peanuts...
