I'm relatively new with DP, only had 210 images with them and they owe me $23.
At first I did the e-mail Vicky thing and requested my images be removed from partner and API programs, specifically Shotshop.
Well after reading all of this I decided they are not worthy of supporting in any way and just deactivated all but 1 image. If I can't get the $23 I'll chalk it up to a learning experience.
I just hope every contributor sees what needs to be done and deactivate their images ASAP.
Just watch though, maybe they'll change their TOS and make you wait 6 months...

I wonder if anybody ever notice how you are loosing control over your images (your work)?
Where's the limit?

Welcome to the world of microstock... and enjoy your 0,27 or 0,30 $ ::)
or
Deposit Photos Extended Licence $2.64!
and here.
Microstock is great, first sales are great, until you realize there's something wrong with your business...

Well, I've certainly started to do that as far as my DP portfolio is concerned. Ever since the excellent investigative report appeared in the 'Alltag eines Fotoproduzenten' (many thanks to the guys who did that, made test purchases, and uncovered the issue), I've tried number of times but failed to get any clear professional response from DP - beyond platitudes and general cut-and-paste type email replies that don't clarify anything to my understanding!

Yes, Robert (Fotorob) did a great job! Wondering, what about Shotshop? Most contributors are focused on DepositPhotos, but even what ShotShop do is absolutly dubios. In the German based Stockfotografieforum people are discussing the possability of a quality seal for agencies. Maybe this could be a way to fight back.
