Title: Yuri still on Dreamstime?
Post by: cuppacoffee on October 28, 2013, 15:56
So. Yuri had this to say on his blog in July -

"...Posted by Yuri Arcurs on July 25, 2013

You might have noticed huge amounts of images being removed from micro subscription sites such as Shutterstock.com, Fotolia.com, Dreamstime.com etc."

All of his images are still on Dreamstime and one is even featured in the October newsletter.

I know that this has been discussed ad finitum but I thought they might be removed by now.  Whassup?

If his images are still selling, i dont imagine any of the sites are anxious to remove them and have a big hole in their collection. Sounds like Yuri gets to have his cake and eat it too. All it takes is money.

Yep.  If IS/Getty really cared they'd be pushing him to get them removed.  He must have some other special arrangement with the brain trust at GI, all while laughing at us "suckers", or whatever the word he used was.

Last time Yuri was in the forum I asked him why his images were still on dreamstime. He said he didn't know.

He actually said he was going to have his staff look into that. Either his staff is incompetent or he was lying.
