How about to discuss a level of sales?

sales are growing there but mainly 0.3$

I was made the "offer" Then I read about them and totally agree with Helix.  Not worth the future hassle and the 30 cent norm.

WOW. They added special terms for photographers:

From the photographer terms page:


Seems kind of undefined, really. Like it's up to the discretion of DP to decide who gets VIP status. Meanwhile everyone else gets pushed further back in the search results.

Sales are much better than BS, last month better than CanStock. They have sent me money 4 or 5 days from my request. I can't complain so far.

I'm sure they did give a very convincing explanation to anyone who asked. The fact remains, however, that there are some pretty clear ties to the pirate site DepositFiles, regardless of whatever explanation management is willing to offer.

Everyone has to draw their own line in the sand somewhere. Mine is drawn here, and I won't do business with a company that was started on the heels of a site that actively enabled the piracy of images by some of the same artists they now represent, even if that companies shows growth and sales volume. I don't care if they become the next Shutterstock. I'm not interested in working with them.

That's just me. If everyone else is comfortable working with DP, that's fine as well. Best of luck to you, hope you make lots of money with them.

He isn´t misleading people, he is just talking about a serious issue and I guess a answer from DP here would be nice..

What's the pricing structure there, I can't find it on the site, The only info you get under for photographers is that BS VIP programme. I've only come across the info that they pay 24c/sub, which is pathetic. Do you at least get raises on subs like on SS?

Laughed so hard I almost fell off my seat. 99% of the traffic on Rapidshare is stolen IP. These sites are the real pirate sites. The warez sites just gleam a bit of the cream from the top, just a front for the real crooks like Rapidshare etc.
As I've said before if you are Pawn Broker who's stock is 99% stolen goods, you're not a Pawn Broker anymore, you're just a fence. Simple.

A new member appeared out of nowhere last time this came up if I remember correctly, weird huh? (and underhand?)

I don't really understand whats the big deal with depositphotos. If you are heavily involved in microstock you have already been giving your pictures to crooks anyway. FT, IS, f.e. their directors and many of their employees would be fleeing criminal charges in a properly regulated world, so whats the difference?
