Re: Re:Globorama: How big is the problem

The "problem" is theft. Plain and simple. It does not matter if you
are professional or amateur - theft is theft. Globorama has stolen
the WWP material for it's own benefit.
Perhaps a "professional" can justify higher compensation, but an
"amateur" can still take a more valuable photo if in the right place
at the right time. Differentiating between members is divisive and
unnecessary.
As for those who have not yet spoken up, I have been on many lists
for many years, and I know there are a lot of people who will never
post publicly for one reason or another. Do not assume they, the
silent, have no opinion.
Respectfully,

PS Thanks to everyone who have reacted so passionately on this issue,
especially Willy - our eyes and ears on site. I have never seen this
list so active! Now is the time to collect our thoughts and devise a
forward moving strategy.
