I can sort of understand it for a newspaper site or something like that - they're in the business of selling information, and they'd kind of like to be paid for it. But Flickr is in the business of selling hosting for images, albums, etc. - their customer is, presumably, the photographer. Trying to get a third party to pay for looking at their customer's images seems to me to be acting against their customer's interests. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
