As I was saying yesterday over drinks with some photo friends, we are at an incredible cusp in the history of creative-based businesses. The power that used to be in the hands of publishers and other middlemen is up for grabs. That’s why there are more bullying clients–because they are scared as they lose the control they used to have. Now is the time when creatives could grab that power, once and for all, but it means rejecting rights-grabbing contracts and/or giving work away (via CC licenses or otherwise). One way to take this power and to wield it fairly is to use a variable pricing system–usage pricing in our case–as this article suggests.
Great minds and all... Leslie noted the article I just posted and added some much needed clarification to our call to action.
