Do you think that Fotolia will start a clawback campaign when they realize that some of us are receiving .76 cent sub commissions when we are in fact opted out of DPC?
I reverified that my port wasn't on DPC by a "system error".

Hi Everyone,
I’ve got exciting news to share with you! Fotolia has changed the commission structure for monthly subscription downloads for all contributors.
The changes have taken effect as of today so you may have noticed some differences already. From now on, all contributors that are opted in to Dollar Photo Club will receive 25% of the price paid for a subscription download. For example, a $25 monthly subscription provides 5 XXL images resulting in a $5 price per image. Your commission on that sale will now be $1.25 instead of the flat rate it has been. In some cases this change can result in more than a 500% increase in commissions.
As subscription quantities increase, the cost per photo goes down. The good news is that your commission will never go under what it is now . In other words, the minimum commission you will receive is the same commission as it has always been. This change can only affect you positively.
The 25% rate is for those opted IN to DPC. If you choose to opt out of DPC, Fotolia will still pay a 20% commission for subscription sales at Fotolia which in some case is a 400% increase for existing sub commissions.
Some more news will come soon regarding the Extended license at Dollar Photo Club.
Cheers!

Though it only for some subscription packages - so there shouldn't be any clawbacks.
We should all be opt out though

Maybe someone should first sue their asses for paying only subscribtion commission for credit sales.
