General Stock Discussion / Photocase

« on: March 16, 2012, 12:25 »

Hi there! Do any of you contribute to Photocase? I just joined and can't get an image accepted, and haven't a clue as to why. Just wondering what your experience there has been and if you have any insight into their process. My images meet all their tech criteria, so don't know what it could be. Thanks for any thoughts you care to share.

iStockPhoto.com / JJRD is out, too!

Off Topic / The Illusionists: Insecurity Sells

« on: June 30, 2011, 14:32 »

Hi there,

Trying to drum up awareness and interest in a friend's awesome documentary film project. Check it out on Kickstarter. I've pledged $250. But any amount of $10 or more would rock.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1085595579/the-illusionists-documentary-insecurity-sells

Funding deadline is Friday, August 5 at 5:55PM EDT. So please take a look, pledge if you can, and share with anyone you think might also be interested in this movie and topic.

Merci!

Cheers,
Marisa

Sean asks:

Do you think it is "fair" to ask for those to be remove to keep everyone on the even field, or am I just being harsh in thinking that should be the solution?

What you suggest is perfectly fair. They will, after all, get to keep any royalties (and RCs) from sales of these files. Which isn't really fair, but whatever.

Nothing much is fair these days at IS, but no. You are not being harsh. Short of the solution you propose, they should allow unlimited uploads for all for the same period as those who took advantage of this bug, while disallowing those who took advantage from uploading more (for the same period).

123RF / Indemnity Section of the Contributor Agreement

« on: January 09, 2011, 14:33 »

Hi there. New indie here.

I've been following StockCube's Independence Blog for formerly exclusive iStockers who are taking the plunge as independents (I am one of these folks). She highlighted today a possible turnoff in the 123RF Photo Contributor Agreement.

Reference: http://stockcube-stockcube.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-agencies.html

Can anyone here shed a little expert light on this?

Point 3 under Indemnity states: "You agree to fully defend and indemnify 123RF, its employees, directors, and officers, and anyone else associated with 123RF, and each of their successors, licensees, and assigns free and harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, costs, losses, damages, or expenses, including attorneys' fees and expenses, arising from the breach of the warranties you so grant in Clause 10: Copyrights and Warranties."

Source: http://www.123rf.com/submit/agreement.php

On first read, that seems pretty scary. Do I really want to risk having to cough up potentially huge sums of money if there is a "breach of the warranties I so granted" in Clause 10? And how likely is that?

Upon reading Clause 10, I can't see breaking the rules. So is there anything, then, to worry about?

Does this point cause sleepless nights to 123RF contributors, or is it just 123RF covering their behind and so long as you adhere to the points in Clause 10 when you submit photos, you have absolutely nothing to lose sleep over?

Confused. Hope you can unconfuse me and put me at ease with submitting here. Advance thanks for your thoughts.
