Title: List of ethical microstock companies
Post by: SoylentGreen on May 23, 2012, 05:44:44 PM

I recall that a list of "ethical" stock art companies was posted a liitle ways back.
I might need some photos, and I don't mind paying...
I just don't want my money used to make threatening letters (which destroys our forests)... lol.

If someone could provide a link, that would be great.
Also, anyone have any experience with Shutterstock?

Thanks in advance,

S.G.

Thanks Buddha!!

I'll probably get something from a "pay" site, at least I'll get some sort of "license".  To me, it's like a "warranty". 
I do business with a company that isn't known for "trolling", though...
But, if anything "bad" ever happens, I'll give one warning, and then I'll sue all parties involved to the max.
ELI will be one of the first to hear about it.

I quizzed two people at Pond5.com. They both said that the company was independently owned and as far as they knew it didn't partake in the trolling activities as defined here.
