If they are going to do that, they want to find a way to get a piece of the pie.<BR/><BR/>Photos have a very limited resale market in general. Sure, there are some that become stock art fodder, or a few that are cool enough to actually be sold, but most are simply throwaway snapshots with purely sentimental value.<BR/><BR/>This might become less true with video, and almost certainly does with audio. I think your point about copyright is a large reason as well. Although photos can be copyrighted, I think the proportion of legit to illegal photos is much lower than the same ratio for music.<BR/><BR/>I agree though, it would be great if they went all the way with this. I hate having a ton of CD's with sharpie on them because I don't have time for anything else. I would pay a small amount to have them done right.Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15229246615839778034noreply@blogger.com
