When you are talking about artists, writers, publishers, musicians, etc. you
are referring to work produced that takes specific skills, effort and/or
training.
I really can't see digital photos shared through groups falling in the
same category.
I can only speak for myself, but the photos I have taken are more of the
result of the
subject I have and the camera I use than any specific skills and
consequently, I don't
expect payment for any image used. I have been asked and have given
permission to
commerical sources to use my photos and I certainly don't expect payment
for something
that takes me a couple of minutes to do.
If I expected payment for a photo, I also wouldn't share it on the
internet and I agree
with Char and Dave on this.
