Nobody was blaming Corbis for the economy, rather a strong complaint was
being made to Corbis in respect of their treatment of their
photographers.
ie
"the corporation's French lawyers stated that if there was no agreement
between the company and the photographers their archives would be
returned to them but without the slide mounts, and therefore the caption
information, and minus protectors on the negatives"

and no Microsoft does not own Corbis, Bill Gates does.


All good things to you and yours
