Hi Mat

Could you ask your lawyers in Adobe a question relating to this? If I own a house, take a photo of it, take one or two with a for-sale sign in front of it, try a foreclosure sign there etc. and sign the property release because it is my house, what happens when I sell that house? I am not taking any more images, but the images are still being used around the world and potentially the new owner may not like that.

Does a property release signed at the time the image is taken provide the legal ability to continue to sell and use that image in perpetuity?

Please, someone who have model released images accepted recently on Shutterstock,

In what format do you write dates?
 I find contradicting info about it. I've seen SS forum post about releases being rejected for the date written in the format suggested in some FAQ pages on the SS website.
I couldn't get any releases accepted for months, and when I ask support about the problem I always just get a generic text about release rules, but it seems to me I'm complying with all of them.

The whole date format thing is kind of crazy. A good solution would be simply to have the release have three separate fields for month, day and year. That would solve the problem and avoid confusion once and for all.

I try to always write out the month. April, May, June.
