I'd guess a thread about, the future possibility, and three pages of complaints and "when will I get paid" isn't the same as - Vectors Go On Sale January 2014?

Which answers my original question. No one cares.  ;)

I care. I'm waiting for them to make it possible to upload fewer than 1,000 vectors at a time.

Has anyone taken up with them the claim that they're offering 'all rights' with their vectors? That's a very difficult claim for them to back down from, and I presume they don't really mean it.

Thanks I was wondering about the lack of interest in the collection actually going live, vs announcing it in 2013. I think they did the same thing with video? Took huge collections for the start, went live and then started accepting individuals?

Yes the original did say 1000 or more. That makes sense for the factories and people with huge libraries, not much interest to anyone else.
