THOUGHT
I feel less apt to post new pics on the web now. Free samples lead most people to expect...more free samples.
That's the whole trouble with computers, the Internet and creative people. Creative endeavor has intrinsic worth, and the Internet has created unreasonable expectations in a whole generation or two of people, to expect a constant supply of new "stuff" delivered at no extra charge on their computer screens. We should never expect a creative person to give away on a website what should be an income generator. This built-in unfairness for content creators is really a bigger problem than Verizon's attack on "net nutrality", what we need from isps is a way to get some compensation to artists like Milton Knight for all the enrichment they bring each day for free.
