I did this almost 2 years ago when my daughter turned 18.  I would definitely ask first however just be safe.  I was also able to refer my daughter, again ask about this also.

I thought the referral scheme had now stopped at SS (?).

They changed it from forever to 2 years, so it ended for me and a lot of people that have been there a long time.
Ah, but could still be valuable for a new referral.
As you were OP; Tx Tickstock.

It's much less valuable, I wouldn't have helped get the people I did onto Shutterstock if it was only a 2 year agreement but of course it was a lifetime agreement that was made.

Agreed. I'm still bummed that they went back on their word on this. The referral program modification was the first SS policy change that really had me feeling like the company was treading into some disturbing territory.

It is the same as when you buy houses or cars.
Entities are entities.

No. I think JPSDK means you and your Dad can both live in the same house and ride in the same car. He doesn't mention anything about SS.

Ignore Jens.  He thinks he's Hamlet's heir.   ;D

Yes you can have separate accounts as long as  1.  You take your own pictures/illustrations and you don't try to upload the same images in both accounts and  2.  You each have separate e-mail addresses.  The same e-mail address screws up their accounting.  The fact that it's on the same PC shouldn't affect anything  (if I were you I'd try to get my own PC,  No point in Dad being able to see what you've been up to.).  ;)
