Hi All,

 I don't know more than what I just read but it appears that there might be some rather wicked things taking place in the Micro world. This is about the top Micro sites doing some pretty naughty stuff. If anyone has any information I would love to hear more. I don't want to jump the gun and say this is a fact as I only have this one source. If anyone can help add some insight I would appreciate it. Here is the statement and a link that has been added to join force against the issue at hand. The issue lies with Fotolia, Istock, and Shutterstock according  to the post on Facebook.

Russian service http://sellimage.org/ allows to buy images without registration in microstock. There are a number of people buying the image by subscription and then transferring the files to users who paid the money service. Sounds like resale of images already purchased but I am not sure.


Thanks,
Jonathan

Sounds like istockreseller.com .  I'm sure the micros aren't willingly participating in this.  You'll get downloads, and then a fraud refund later.

This sounds right to me.  SS has no incentive to help somebody who buys a 25 download a day package actually download all 25 images, as they would lose money.
