Schools of thought regarding magazines asking for free pictures:
Time Magazine trolling for free pictures on Flickr.

You're welcome. I do have mixed feelings about this myself, and that's because on one hand I make a living out of selling intellectual property (design), but on the other hand I did provide free pictures for magazines on several occasions, pictures that were of little significance to me.
Interesting topic indeed—I'm sure we'll come across it again soon.

Neagrigore:
I would go for the second. Even if the comparison with the quotes system is appealing, I think there is a big difference between the two. I never heard of someone getting paid for a quote, while you cannot just publish the first 100 pixels of a photo, just as AP would want you to, I guess. Sorry about the easy joke, I am not a serious guy. But the topic is interesting and some of the comments made onare worth reading. Thanks for the link.
