I wished all sites revealed their partners, and how can we trust partners anyway? How secure are our files? We can expect files to be safe in the big sites who have a name in the market, but what about these other sites?

Thanks Madelaide
I am living in Beijing. To be honest, China is high fraud and illegal copy area and has many stock companies by now. Due to we don’t believe any Chinese stock company and agent, so we choice selling our photos via Fotolia.
If FT keep cooperating and reselling via China Stock Company, I know the risk of selling photos in China and I have to choose quit from Fotolia before illegal copy happen.

Your testimonial and that of Digital66 in the Tuwemei thread.
I had hoped that partners did not have real access to the image database, that all they had was an application that would intermediate searches, display with partner's watermark, sales, but original high res files would be in FT only and would be downloaded by the buyer directly. It seems however that they have physical access to the high res files - can anyone confirm that?
PS: Brazil has a lot of piracy too, I only think that images do not have such a market, but I can imagine those magazines that offer free CDs throwing in some images downloaded from microstock via subs.
