I don't need to change FT site.  I only want to be paid my 35% of whatever currency my images are sold.  If I sell in EUR, I want 35% of that converted to USD.

Regards,
Adelaide

I do not know whether this is what  Fotolia doing is legally?

They say the contributors cut is certain % (based on level). Unless I'm mistaken, this looks like they are not following their own rules.

I guess it is, because in the site you are registered, the rules are being followed.  In the USA site, 1 credit costs US$1, and they say they will pay you a % of the credits - they don't say they will pay according to the sales price.  Of course, it isn't fair, but I don't think we can cay it is illegal.

Yes.

I that case is better option for all costumers to buy pictures on FT USA because is cheaper,am I right?
1credit =1$ is better payment option than 1credit=1
So FT USA should have more buyers...
If credit is different for buyers and contributors, then in that case would be illegal...

I don't know if a buyer can choose a FT site, but yes, the USA one would currently be cheaper.

Given the terms in our contract with FT, there is nothing illegal.

- For every file sold, you will receive a royalty based on your ranking and exclusivity
- images sold in credits give contributors a royalty (%) of the prices, which are set in credits
- images sold in subs give contributors a number of credits
- 1 Credit = $ 1.00

What is illegal in that?

Or, if you can rustle up a few clients in the Euro area whilst you are registered on UK.......you buy pics (from any contributor) at 60p per credit....deduct them from your sales account and sell them to the client for one euro per credit + search fees.

Gee, ain't capitalism great. LOL.

Any verification for this or is it just a rumour?
