Both The Wall Street Journal and the Today show had similar stories on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively about potential problems when the same image is used by different advertisers.

Our colleagues over at About the Image published an editorial that rips the reporting of both of these organizations and their lack of either research or honesty in their reporting.

One of the lessons of this poor reporting is that Rights Managed imagery is here to stay. And while various forms of Royalty Free stock photos are growing wildly, there will always be a strong need for Rights Managed photos.
