ASMP Cites Concerns About Proprietary RAW Formats: "The American Society of Media Photographers (ASMP) is deeply concerned at the developing crisis that is threatening continued access to the world’s photographic heritage. "
(...they're referring to Proprietary and/or encrypted RAW Formats)
"It is urgent that the manufacturers of digital cameras look beyond their respective, short-term business plans and act for the good of future generations. ASMP implores them to do so and offers to work with them and all other interested parties towards ongoing and open access to images without regard to proprietary technology. The visual history of the world requires no less. "
It's not every day you hear that the visual history of the world is at risk.
