Google is notorious for sinking money into fighting copyright laws that benefit only them and screw artists. They were one of the big companies lobbying for the Orphan Works Act to pass so they can go suck canal water in Venice. We as artists should unite and all simultaneously flip the bird to these unbelievably arrogant companies/people like waving lighters at a concert! Well done Mr. Taxali! The t-shirt of the bird-man resonates even more with me now so I have to buy one!

Well said, Gary. I'm holding out on prices/rights for now, too. Young Guns should love this time, as it’s typically the period in your career when you get screwed over anyway!

The fact is, any artist working in the industry should NOT be taking work that forces them to work under "bad terms." Agreeing to these terms lowers the bar on industry standards and expectations, which doesn't do yourself or your fellow working artists any favors. Unscrupulous clients have long tried to cut corners, and they're only using the current economy as an excuse. @Pat: yes, Taxalli is a very well known illustrator and can afford to turn down work, but the fact that big clients are even trying to screw HIM (asking for free work!) shows that companies are willing to screw-over both famous and lesser-known talent.
