ASMP To Study Benefits Of StockMedia.net
Licensing Engine
NEW YORK, NY - November 2, 2000 - The American Society Of Media Photographers (ASMP), a global trade organization with membership of over 5,000 professional photographers, announced its intention to further evaluate the StockMedia.net content licensing platform which launched today at PhotoExpo 2000 in New York.
The ASMP statement is as follows:
After a pre-release review of the Stock Media online licensing system by a team of ASMP Directors, it was generally felt that the system potentially could offer opportunities to photographers seeking alternatives to traditional stock agencies. ASMP will be exploring ways for its members to participate in the system under an ASMP program. ASMP President Gene Mopsik said, "Success is achieved by building up from a solid base, and Stock Media seems to have developed a good foundation to build on."
Stock Media CEO Randy Taylor commented on the statement, "It is our mission to add value to the creative process by providing the tools necessary for photographers and their agents to get their creative works to market. I'm very pleased that the ASMP is considering StockMedia.net as an alternative licensing channel for their membership of professional photographers."
