 I think that is a good approach Card Maverick but I am pretty sure from my conversations with Istock that you cannot do that if you are exclusive. I'll drop someone there a note and find out what the answer is and get back to those that are interested in what Istock have to say.

The link in the first post leads to a page that has been deleted.

Seems like somebody took action.

Hi Spike,

 Yea, that is interesting. I still haven't inquired but someone must not like the idea.

Best,
Jonathan

I would guess that running a company with several shooters would be ok but to upload your pics under someone else's name and take a commission would be like having two accounts which is not allowed at iStock.

I don't know.  I'm saying that if the contributor holds copyright that I've not seen anything that stops them from uploading regardless of the source.  As we know exclusivity is has it's ambiguity problems occasionally.

I'd bet that if yuri wanted to go exclusive, the fact that he's not the sole creator of his images would probably not be a barrier to getting the crown. Same probably goes for anyone else.

Hi Helix7,

 They still will not let anyone in as an exclusive that has RF work anywhere else, I have spoken directly to them several times about that subject and it has been made very clear they will not take on exclusives unless all their work is removed from all other RF sites, Macro or Micro. They would take Yuri but he would have to pull all his work from Macro and Micro RF that he is shooting or has shot. His RF work in Macro has longer contracts on them so he wouldn't be able to go exclusive for a very long time.

Best,
Jonathan

That's kind of how I always saw it. Ownership is ownership, regardless of creation methods. As long as you are not trying to game the system (intentionally or unintentionally), they probably won't have any issues.
