For all photographers who still have unpaid earnings at the German stock agency Clipdealer:
Here my news in German (use Google Translate if necessary:
https://www.alltageinesfotoproduzenten.de/2026/06/02/insolvenzverfahren-gegen-die-bildagentur-clipdealer-beantragt/ (https://www.alltageinesfotoproduzenten.de/2026/06/02/insolvenzverfahren-gegen-die-bildagentur-clipdealer-beantragt/)
Here is the important part:
"...there are three possible outcomes: the court may open the proceedings, dismiss the petition for lack of assets (Section 26 InsO), or the petition may be withdrawn (e.g., because the creditor has been satisfied).
If the court opens the proceedings, the notice will be posted on the official website https://neu.insolvenzbekanntmachungen.de (https://neu.insolvenzbekanntmachungen.de) (search by case number AZ 1508 IN 1515/26 ).
If other photographers also have outstanding claims against the Clipdealer photo agency, they should check the website mentioned above to see if insolvency proceedings have been initiated, so that they too can claim their outstanding fees if necessary.
In any case, it is a good idea to take screenshots of the outstanding amounts on the Clipdealer website as proof beforehand."
They had it coming for a long time.
It is a wonder that they were able to operate for so long without paying the contributors.
