I think I remember seeing an APIC logo on the Oliver Klozov sites a while back. Maybe Glyn has some good insight about it.
What I do know is that APIC definitely serves a purpose, and that purpose should mainly be about protecting the rights of the owners who own legal copyrights and electronic intellectual property. As far as Alyssa Milano and her mom goes, they were just sick of seeing alyssa's pictures being illegally spread all over the net, and I don't blame them one bit. Why should a hundred thousand so-called webmasters make a fortune from pics that they stole or "doctored up" in some way?? The Milano's aren't against webmasters, she has an income from modelling just like a lot of stars have, so legitimate webmasters are her friends too.
It's about how wrong it is to use pics on your website when you have no legal right to do so. It's about people who fuck over content producers, and it's about doing what's right for a change. And APIC charges for their services because donations just don't cut it.
