I've generally avoided sites that allow web template usage or one-off product usage (one of the main reason I don't license through Bigstock). Now StockXpert is removing the ability to opt out of extended licenses, which I had previously avoided due to the web template and product extended licenses.
At this point I'm probably going to remove my portfolio from StockXpert. I've always viewed web template usage as damaging to the web designers that comprise a large portion of microstock customers. On the product front, I generally dislike the idea of my photos on poor quality products most of these online stores sell.
Does anyone feel the same? Does anyone have any good arguments in support of template and product licensing? Are the potential returns from StockXpert's new direction with photos.com worth letting my standards slide with just that one site? If so, would BigStock be worth taking another look at?
