To sound like a scratched recordIf, and I'm not suggestion out of the b3ta purse, that we start a b3ta one. Everyone post is done on the understanding that anyone can use the image for noncommercial and commercial perposes. But only if they have been put on the approval list.
This includes regular contributors and members that have posted on b3ta for more that 3 months and have a steady posting record.
I even volenteer to watch the whole thing as I currently work a 90 hour week in front of a PC.

hmmmm, but who would be in charge of 'vetting' said imagesotherwise everyone could just contribute any ol' google image saying it was copyright free, and 'someone' would have to check out every single image, which would involve a LOT of time and effort...
seems a lot of effort for ensuring all source images are copyright free

yeah, just seems a lot of effort on keeping on top of itand supposing somedid did use said copyright free image, and suddenly had the opportunity to make a bit of money from their creation with the image, you just KNOW the source image taker/contributor is gonna get pissed

ExactlyToo much effort for too little effectiveness.
A better thing would be to make a thing which searches the internet for copyright-free pics. Or somethjing

Done on a ratio basis?Time over posts.
If you give loads of photos then you get access as well.
Membership on the condition that you are legally liable if you post images that are not yours.
After all the internet is about freedom.

thing is, surely access would be better off being for all,otherwise it becomes very 'two tier' on b3ta with those that can afford nice shiny cameras to take a few pics of trees/flowers/anything out the window, just to get access to the big shiny good source pics?

OK what about for alla quantifier that it can't be use directly by large media companies, unless it has been shopped and full rights have been given to the individual?

It's not a bad idea in principle, just be a huge amount of effort to run it reasonably smoothlyafter all, it's not like getty is used HUGELY on the board, mainly for small anims etc.
