I worked for The Stock Market (TSM) NYC until 2003 and they were a big deal and were bought by Corbis and now my stuff is in Getty. I don't have any academic bona fides about this but I didn't want all y'all to miss one of the big ones, if it's relevant. Chrisabraham (talk) 20:34, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

message: "Also known as comps, complimentary images are lower-resolution versions of an actual photography that can be used for the purpose of preparing a demonstration of a design. Comps are usually downloadable for free from any given stock photography site."
"Comp" does not stand for "complimentary," it stands for "comprehensive layout." Richard K. Carson 08:47, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Is the Awesome photography (http://www.spaces.msn.com/members/cotas/) link supposed to just go to some guy's MSN group. I dont think the images are really up to a licensable standard. IMHO. --Pypex 23:07, 9 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree and it really isn't stock photography since there are no images which can be licensed. It ought to go under recreational photography==--Pixpixpix 00:07, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I changed the word "agent" to "library" as Stock libraries are no longer the photographer's agents. An agent has the legal responsibility of using their best efforts to license all the images. However agencies took this agent language out of photographer's contracts long ago. Stock libraries now compete with their contributing photographers and often use their best efforts to promote their own work. (I moved this anonymous post to the bottom where it should be. You must be new here : ) --cda 14:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a really good edit, anonymous. I see someone reverted that - I vote it should be "library" with an explanation. --cda 14:21, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm moving the List of Stock Photography Archives to my user pages because I have to agree that it doesn't fit Wikipedia's rules. (and it has been deleted) Mainly the rule that Wikipedia is not a link list. Feel free to continue to edit it at the new page. --cda 01:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

message: "One of the first major stock photography agencies was founded in 1920 by H. Armstrong Roberts, which continues today under the name RobertStock." Gonna need a source on this one since the last editor specifically mentioned this person as a pioneer of stock photography. Google search and Google Scholar search returns very limited info.
