stock.xchng is no longer free

The last remaining high-quality high-volume free stock photography site is no longer free. Figured it was just a matter of time, but it's a shame when an open community gets bought out and they immediately begin charging money for photos that people uploaded without intent to sell. You know somebody's getting ripped off. Not that the photos are that expensive, but working as I am on internal facing projects there's zero budget for such things, so even $1 is $1 too much.

Update: I was decieved. Between the evil that is Websense restricting what I can see at work, and the Stockxpert.com pages that I ran into during the v.6 upgrade, stock.xchange remains free even though it didn't appear that way last Thursday.
