Photographers are usually very independent and it's hard to get a group to agree on anything even when it's in their best interests. Even the SAA is going through a controversy right now because several board members sell royalty-free and that didn't come out until after the election. As far as Adobe goes, those of us who support photographer's rights were very disappointed that Adobe Photoshop CS2 and the whole Creative Suite have included instant connections to Adobe Stock Photos where you can download royalty-free photos :-( Boo, Hiss!
