When you weren’t reading the license

iStockPhoto is a great website linking amature photographers and designers to people interested in their material. However, some people don’t realize what it means to sell the rights of your work for 30 cents. The Dutch newspaper ‘De Volkskrant’ found iStockPhoto very interesting as well; they used an iStockPhoto they bought for their campaign. However, the photographer seems to never have realised what it actually means to sell the rights of your work. When you release anything; make sure you read the license you are agreeing to!
