The article was written by Betsy Reid, formerly director of the Stock
Artists' Alliance. I was a member until they started accepting
photographers who leased stock photos as Royalty Free which went against
everything that they supposedly supported. The board of directors made
excuses at the time that they needed to keep up with all aspects of stock,
including RM and RF. Now she seems to be having second thoughts and
realizing, too late, what a fiasco RF really is.
