Looks like the talk of audits is turning into something

What "reseller network"?  There are no details of any type in that "report".

It seems like someone is discovering a useful way to make a buck in microstock. I'd say its a good idea. With all the dealing and re dealing of images goin' on you can image all the slop (short-changing) happening. I'm sure the "right to audit" clauses were added to contracts as a "looks-good-to-the-contribs-but-will-never-be-used" feature. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if there are huge under-reporting issues especially in the associates realm.
