Thanks, Microsoft, you made my day :) You realize, don't you, that Bill Gates owns Corbis-the largest photoagency/library in the world. Not exactly a good thing, have heard that Corbis/Sygma is trying to get freelancers in Paris - the home of Sygma- to sign some kind of screwy contract that basically steals the photographers copyrights...and this from a photo agency---they are supposed to REPRESENT their photographers not screw them. Corbis also owns the Betteman archives, Corbis Westlight - who has also been offered a version of the bad contract, and several other photo agencies. - -- Harrison McClary http://www.mcclary.net
