I was comparing EStockMusic.com, and not ALL library
music, to Walgreens. There are obviously markets
between Walgreens and Monet.

A print of a pond photo recently sold for $2.5
Million. But, you can buy a pond photo for $1 on
istock photo. Or, go to the same pond and snap it
yourself for free. I find that empowering, others see
it as a reason to pack up their tents. I was trying to
encourage the tent-packers to not worry about the
bottom of the market. I have no idea how you see that
as turning IP creators against each other.
