This is happening a lot to writers, photographers etc and to an extent prices in some areas are becoming ridiculous in this industry too. This is a good rant.

I know this feeling.
I used to be a cartoonist / illustrator for many magazines until they started to bargain the price down from $150-$200 each illustration to $5-$10.
Each illustration would take around 5-6 hrs to do.
They were getting illustartions from over seas off a certain country who does allot of copying... at ridiculous prices.

Good subject Paul. My mate's a writer who has featured in many leading papers/magazines over the last 30 years. For the last 10 years getting paid has become a rarity.
