I think Kodak's new KODAK-One announcement will be a welcome new tool for me, as a "stock photographer" for magazines and text books. Being able to control the use of my images and get paid when they are used is my life blood. I am still trying to evaluate how real their vision is, but I have to admit it sounds hopeful. Hmm, buy stock now in Kodak...?
Their ICO website has a little more information available today:
