No Spec Work
I've written about creator rights. I'm especially against contests, which are all over the internet and a really pernicious way for companies to solicit work for free. Here's a great comic by Maki Naro about the problems of spec work and here's Mark Evanier on spec from the writer's side, but it still applies to anyone creative.

Just read the comic on No!Spec work. Very good presentation of the argument and why people do it, and why they shouldn't.
Not entirely sure what doing a crude drawing of a historical figure and submitting an invoice will do, but perhaps that speaks more to returning the insult than actual action.
I feel like a patsy having entered contests etc., and will try to do otherwise. The industry does need to respect the creative people and the work we do more.
