Ok, so they do not really want to eliminate spam. Let them at least tell us that everyone is allowed to use it. Rules should be the same for everyone, right?

Apparently, if you send a letter to SS about specific images, they do contact the author and ask them to change the spammy description.

Their statement that this thing doesn't involve enhanced licenses is clearly false, just look at any photo. You can buy it for 1 dollar, even the enhanced (or extended) license.
I am sorry, do they really offer extended licenses for 1 dollar, on top of everything else?? Do they give this information on their site? I cannot find it there

SS can now offer whatever custom deals for ELs they like. No matter how small the price is, SS is now paying the author a percentage, and not flat 28$ for each EL. I think that's what the previous lack of flexibility mentioned in the letter meant. Either that or they're going to make standard EL tariffs lower for the client.

Here's another one... and one more. I wonder how many such ports have been added recently and how the numbers would change if these were deleted (or not accepted, in the first place).

Sean Locke Photography, it happens if you miss the "Drag and drop your files here or" area when dragging and dropping. Once you drag outside of the marked rectangular area, it opens your file instead of uploading it.

It would appear, some contributors opted back in, after all... Not necessarily. But surprisingly, there are still some people uploading to FT, and that increases also the DPC count.
I think so. As compared to June 12: (Fotolia: 28,928,757 images DPC: 21,984,779 images): Growth @ Fotolia: 29,074,942 - 28,928,757 = 146,185 images Growth @ DPC: 22,226,912 - 21,984,779 = 242,133 images

The thing is, it's not enough if we (the contributors) support fair agencies by uploading to them. We need to either get the buyers to support them, too, or withdraw our images from any "not fair" agencies so that the buyers have no choice but to turn to the fair agencies. This is a much, much bigger challenge than opting out of DPC/leaving Fotolia and letting other contributors know what's going on.

Does anyone know, is it safe to turn the Alliances back on now, if I do not want to participate in the testing program?

The stats suggest that some contributors have opted back in... which is sad.
Not necessarily. Could be new images uploaded to Fotolia by contributors who didn't opt out.

One thing is for sure-I know some agencies that would have never asked us. Sure, you know what agencies I'm talking about
And right now such agencies are reaping what they sowed.

I have nothing against Dreamstime, in fact I made my first sale with them (and a credit one at that), so I quite like this agency. They are not my biggest earner but they're all right.
It's just that we're all quite touchy at the moment, what with DPC and other bad news. If only we had more information about this possible deal. If only there was a way of knowing it's not gonna hurt us more than benefit us.

Once again... the images are free only during the initial beta test (and perhaps not free at all, if we are indeed retroactively paid)... don't throw away future dollars worrying about a few pennies you may drop along the way!
Can't we opt back in, once the testing is over and the "big dollars" start flowing in? The way you say it only those of us who remain opted in during the testing will be able to participate later. But surely it does not make much of a business sense?
If I were DT I wouldn't be thrilled with this approach. If many or most of the contributors whose work they selected for this beta chose to sit on the sidelines, there's less likelihood the potential partner would be impressed by the offering. DT would have to keep finding replacement images to fill in for the ones you yanked out. Then if the test goes well and a lucrative deal is implemented, you want to hop back in?
To me, fairness means those who are willing to support an initiative like this should be the first (maybe even only) contributors to benefit from it.
Wouldn't it be their loss or the loss of their new partner, if they limit the number of contributors (and works) participating in the program?
