DP sells images under subscription packages to resellers who resell your images for high credit sales. You get 30 cent for an image sold for 10 dollar.

How does this fit in with the original licensing agreement?  Is there a way to prevent this?

I should post on here more often.  By shear coincidence  18 of my 25 images have now been approved.

My first -1, for stating facts about my review times and lack of sales! What fun.

I seem to have gained a few -1s for posting simple facts.  Still if someone is sad enough to keep disagreeing without actually discussing the issue why should I worry about their opinion?

Your images will be offered as free downloads for a month in a free section on our site. Each of these downloads helps to increase your download rate as if the files were bought by credits.

Even if I would allow DP a free image, I certainly wouldn't let DP choose which images to use.
