Yes they are anf it is the fault of anyone that gave them their work.

Sale out for $15 and make the race to the bottom greased with cheap photos. I'd sell out my pohotos that don't sell anyplace else. Take the money. $49 unlimited for 1 year and then some person comes from them and claims they have dialy limit. It says no limit. Lies on top of lies.

This is what they are saying.. unlimited download with no caps.... I doubt their business model.. for everyone, I recommend not to upload in them.. as we are the ones who created this market and now we are giving hands to destroy it.

they company behind also runs videoblocks and audioblocks. and they buy most of the content (resell license).

here is a short report:

Today Holland�s company, Video Blocks, is a leading online stock footage vendor with projected 2013 revenues between $12 million and $15 million, double last year�s total. Based in Reston, Virginia, Video Blocks hires freelance videographers to shoot original clips that the company owns. The company also buys nonexclusive rights to existing video content, and operates a studio where it shoots original material.

"Everybody else is trying to sell by the drink," says Carter Griffin of Updata Partners, a Washington, D.C.-based venture capital firm that invested $10 million in Video Blocks at the end of 2011. "Joel has a different and better business model."

So they have a lot of money to buy resell rights and to produce new stuff.
