MicrostockGroup

No it is not for images but mostly for publishing digital content on the web (magazines, blogs, etc). Interesting part is that Apple is taking 30% from sold subscription which seems like opposite of what stock distributors are doing. To make it look even worse Google announced competing service and they take only 10% :-)

Hopefully these services can be adapted to sell other types of digital media :-)

Yeah, i saw a big write up about it yesterday on Gizmodo.  They are making things tough for publishers because a publisher can't offer anything inside the app that a person can follow a link to buy outside the app - basically meaning the publisher can't direct someone to go outside the app and skip the app store commission.  It sounds a lot more involved than that though - I'm just not good at explaining it.  You can read on Gizmodo if you want the full story

If Getty identifies that there is a threat that Google would start such business they will strike a deal with them to give 10% of our share to Google :-)
