Good on the Australia Ministry of Tourism using ordinary people to make something really cool.

The professional artists/photographers mentioned in the article seem to just be whinging because something they took for granted is being taken away. Its just like the newspaper industry, technology and society is passing them by and they haven't worked out how to cope.


Sounds like Microsoft condemning Communist open source.
