Interview with Elena of FP

Since Peer Mangia doesn't seen to post on this forum, I take the liberty of linking his mini-interview with Elena Oryol of Featurepics.

One statement struck me:

--- Quote ---"What we are realizing is that there are artists who do care to see their work in good hands and there are some who abuse the system. Our effort has been concentrated with helping to promote the artists and eradicate the abusers."

--- End quote ---

What would those abusers do then? I'm intrigued.

madelaide:
I read the whole interview to see if I could find some hint about the "abusers", but I couldn't.  The only abusers I can think of is buyers who infringe license restrictions.

FP is great to hear and implement improvements, and I was happy to read this:

--- Quote ---Elena: We are planning to create a new “print” addition to the site and it will certainly require attending trade shows. Most of our exposure is through the Internet, however.
--- End quote ---
as I suggested it to them.

I am a bit intrigued by this part however:

--- Quote ---Q: Can you give me your opinion about prices and percentage for photographers? You are unique in this field. You have the highest commission rates for photographers. It is an amazing 70%, but how can you run this site when you take only 30%?

Elena: Yes we do. However, there is a hidden fee. We add 1000% satisfaction to 30% of all sales. As the market expands, however, we will adjust our business vision to achieve better results.
--- End quote ---
Does it mean our 70% share will be reduced once the site expands?  :(

Regards,
Adelaide

I wondered the same thing.

steve-oh:
Maybe you will be grandfathered in, but I can tell you trade shows aren't cheap. :)

Void:
I took it as meaning better results for sales.....
She didn't say anything about cutting our cut.
