I found this today on the TIGforum, I figure it might be of interest of any freelancers here but especially the young, aspiring freelancers, which there seems to be a lot of here. It discusses exploitative practices in the indie games industry from the exploiter's perspective.

To be fair, the original post is written by a 16 year old.

I eagerly await his next article, "How to Trick a Girl into Having Sex."   :(

And when he draws flak for that article, he'll add a link to "Survival of the Fittest" on Wikipedia (like he did with Capitalism for this one).
