I mean, if you sign up with a completly new, untested agency for 5 years, you need to accept your share of responsibility for the risk you took with that commitment.

You have a point about personal responsibility (to an extend) but this sounds a bit like protestantism.You dont need to "accept" any share of responsibility because quite simply the playing field in general isn't level.
The realization of it is what matters and the decision in participating in it cannot be judged by a moral standpoint.

I have just checked and my clips are still for sale on their website despite sending several emails asking for them to be removed and my account closed.

When you share information and experiences like these...

I think other contributors should know who they are dealing with and #BoycottDissolve

You dont need to add things like these.Everyone gets the message.

er. . . are you actually telling me what I should and should not say?
. . . and you're also speaking for 'everyone' - now that's impressive.

No not at all,but if you feel the need to twist what im saying, and furthermore accuse me of telling you what to say,then i have to respond.

First of all you have the right to express yourself in whatever way you want, im not suggesting to you what to say.
Im stating my opinion on what i consider constructive dialogue and it's within the context of this discussion.
You on the other hand by posting #boycottdissolve are taking this discussion out of context and making this into a cause.

Second im not speaking for "everyone" .You are, and in a very awkward way.
Im only saying that im confident that people who read can judge whether they can take action against dissolve or not without having someone telling them what to do.
Pretty much the opposite of what you are doing here (even if indirectly).This is not a political rally but a discussion.Learn the difference.

I am obviously not agreeing with what dissolve did, just pointing out that dissolve made a bad entrance here, so I was really surprised how many people signed up, even gave them exclusive material at a time when there is no oversupply in video.

And if their contract allows them to set any price and they had files at 5 dollars before...anyway, everyone has to decide their own business path. they do seem to sell after all.

But i hope things work out in the end. Agencies are fluid entities, they can go either way.

Of course i know that you dont agree i didnt say you condone them.I just detected a hint of moralism and my radars are a bit sensitive to that, that's all.

Sorry,is Daisy banned?Isn't this a tad too much?
