123rf no longer accepting video?

(1/3) > >>

unnonimus:
got a weird difficult to understand message from 123rf where they are saying they are no longer accepting video.

shoopinoz:
I came here for the same reason. It almost looked like a spam email.

SpaceStockFootage:
Yeah, it's not worded very well!


--- Quote ---Hello Footage Contributor,

We hope this email finds you well.

We would like to notify you that as on April 6, 2020, 123RF will no longer be accepting any footage content or repurpose footage into another site within INMAGINE ECOSYSTEM. We will send out an invitation to selected contributors to participate.

We will not place them for sale without your approval.

Please note that all footage submitted to 123RF in Pending status will progressively be removed from our servers.

We will also be disabling the Upload Page for footage.

We will continue to license your footage for as long as we can and please rest assured that we will send any earnings that you may are entitled to during your time with us. Further announcements will be made to this effect in the future.

We would like to thank you for submitting your footage all these while to us at 123RF.

Note the following part: "...into another site within INMAGINE ECOSYSTEM".

Apparently they put footage on INMAGINE site(s)? without contributor's consent, similar to what Pond5 did?? They probably received some complaints about this 'ecosystem' but I haven't heard about this.

Edit: Is 123RF a brand of INMAGINE? Or is INMAGINE an affiliate site?

Edit no. 2: Wiki says: "123rf (part of Inmagine Group)", so it looks like they are going to stop accepting footage. Well, their review system was slow anyway, I won't miss it. I don't expect to get an invitation.

Mantis:
123 sucks anyway.  I may have sold 2 clips in the last year.  Been waiting for them to shut down altogether.  Takes 2-3 months to get a $50 payout. But it does sound like they are going to have an exclusive collection by invite only.  Wonder what that's all about?
