Yup, Corbis is going to let bloggers use some of their images for free - if they're willing to put up with ads on the images. Which does sound like a bad idea, but the company is also going to give bloggers an opportunity to earn money for the use of these images.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Stock photography company Corbis is offering Internet bloggers access to some of its images for their posts for free in exchange for showcasing advertising embedded into the photos.
...
The photos will either include an ad overlay on part of the image, or embedded advertising that pops up when a Web user runs a cursor over the picture.
...
PicApp also offers bloggers the opportunity to earn ad revenue based on how many times Web users click on the images posted to their blogs, according to the Web site.
