> Or maybe they would, but then they'd sure as heck still be kicking themselves that they didn't get paid. I see this argument frequently in the photography world, but it doesn't make sense to me. As an amateur making art for enjoyment, as a hobby, with no expectation of financial return, does it matter if some corporation makes money from my work? I'm no worse off than I was beforehand, in fact I might be in a better position because my name will be out there. I have no love of corporations, but if they want to use my photograph to sell a product then go for it. Trying to prevent that sounds to me like muddled principles.
