When I worked at CompUSA they had us do the same thing, because when the company looks at the store numbers and see's that almost every PC sold had an extended warrenty, the manager gets a bonus. Not only that, but if we didn't meet a certain percentage of warrenties to items sold, both the manager and the sales people got in trouble or fired. They even told us when we worked the registers that if a product came up with no warrenty to take the price of the warrenty off and include it without asking the customer. Now if that isn't a shady way to run a company, I don't know what is.
It isn't going to benefit photographer's at all, unless all his print's are picture's of money, this is designed to detect US Currency, not your photograph's.

i live in eastern mass, and boy do they lie. i had multiple technical support people first tell me that the filter was on their whole network across teh country, then later say i could put in a request to have my filter removed and told me it was sucessful and to powercycle the cable modem. i knew he was full of it, but i did anyway. no luck, but look, i'm out of the chat with that guy now. i enter again, this time with a different person. they cannot seem to tell me why the 24.128.176.x ip block is not filtered, even though it's one of their's. i dealt with most of my problem by having apache listen on another port and having my 'www' subdomain point to that port instead of 80, but not all of us have this convience. well i guess all we can do is wait.

The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for his is truly his brothers' keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. Ezekiel 25:17
