TurboSquid and Autodesk team up for an interesting future

Since Autodesk Seek do not operate with opera, who cares about it?

It's bad for content creators. Turbosquid recently changed their business model a bit and is now seeking exclusivity deals with their top content providers. Autodesk is helping Turbosquid limit Autodesk customers' abilities to monetize their assets in order to increase revenue for a company that is not even (or at least not to any significant degree) a customer. This exclusivity deal goes directly against many of your customer's best interests.

Well, you can't always get targeted things done efficiently without setting up some exclusive arrangements. It isn't always bad for the consumer. If, by doing something exclusive, a new thing is made available to them that they didn't have before, how is that bad? Exclusivity is more of a value to be negotiated than a black and white good or evil.

The exclusivity of this agreement does not benefit anyone except Autodesk and TurboSquid. It may appear at first glance to be good for both companies, but it's bad for their customers, so it ultimately bad for them too. Competition is a good thing.
