Dissolve price update

--- Quote from: AB on July 29, 2015, 13:59 ---Good comments, thanks. Dissolve aligns the price of non-exclusive content to the competitive marketplace. If the minimum price that an HD collection is available elsewhere is $299, then we’ll price it at $299. If the minimum HD price is $79, then we’ll match $79. Only a fraction of our HD collection is affected by this update and is moving to $49.

Expect a contributor backlash on this one Dissolve. If a clip at Pond5 for example is priced at $49 the contributor will get $24.5. A clip at $49 at Dissolve would only earn the contributor $14.7. I would certainly not support this.

Do you take pride in the experience of your contributors?
I would urge you to listen to our concerns. Please don't lower prices unless you can raise commissions.
gcrook:
So you are telling us pretty much that whoever lowers prices even further and you "decide" that they "threaten" you, you are going to match their lower price.
You are doing a very aggresive move here and it's all on our backs.Why not match the lower price then and raise the commissions so we get the same 24usd (which is already bad enough) for hd if you want to be all fair about it?
And again you need to clarify something that is a bit disturbing.How will you know if certain collections (why "collections" and not clips?what does "collections" mean?) are being offered elsewhere at lower prices?Will you search all portfolios?its impossible.Perhaps you will only need to scout clips at videoblocks or not scout at all i guess and just go with it.
And what about the previous announcement for sd downconversions?

Thanks for your comments, we're listening. This is competitive pricing based on marketplace observations. As much investment and effort we put into creating a premium product and experience through our marketing, branding, and customer service, as we all know price comparison shopping is part of e-commerce.

ie. Price Fixing - "antitrust laws require that each company establish prices and other terms on its own, without agreeing with a competitor"
