lose the entrecard banner .. those things are seen as lame even in the hobby blogger circuit. It's not a way of trying to be taken serious. That was actually the very first thing that jumped out at me the second the page opened.

leaf · « **Reply #2 on:** February 06, 2010, 04:28 »

well I guess all I can say is good luck. You are up against some stiff competition. The latest drive for photographers, done by DepositPhotos is offering $0.20 / uploaded file and a good referral program.

ThomasAmby · « **Reply #3 on:** February 06, 2010, 04:43 »

Here are some initial thoughts on the site.

Ups:

- 50% commission
- Vectors seem to be reasonably priced
- Nice looking site. I really like it!

Downs:

- When uploading vectors, the preview must be no bigger than 270x270. My previews are always 9mp+, and certainly not going through the hassle just for uploading at StockXpose.
- No keyword limit
- Ugly banner ad in the left side of the screen
- No FAQ ? Seriously, I need to know exactly how my images are priced, I need to know whether I'm going to receive 50% of the credits spent or the USD spent, all those sorts of things need to be perfectly clear to begin with.
- Couldn't find any information about where you are based, names etc. - not even an e-mail address! That always looks suspicious to me, I can't help it.

Contact Us takes you to just a form you can fill in.

That can mean one of two things - you have something to hide or you have not put enough thoughts into content of your site.

Bad, bad...

I only had a quick look around, so maybe there is mistakes in what I've written / seen

To me the site is clean (except the ad which is just an ugly black box because of the blocker) but looks to me like a template, doesnt seem a lot happening (but I know that its all new <200 photos)

$3 for 30mb image ?? seems too cheap

no contact details, beyond web form ?? who are you, where are you etc.

lots of categories, does the artist selects them as part of upload? (personally the time and wages spent on choosing categories vs expected return means that I wont add any more sites with categories)

I didnt see where artists actually grant you the right to licence the content etc but saw 'As a member of the site You may authorize Stockxpose to offer your own Images for download. The terms that govern Image uploads can be found in the Artist agreement.' - where is it I cant find it (I didnt actually sign up, maybe it is there?).

to my my quick laymans eye TOS is light on with what appears issues, especially comparing quickly to SS etc. I think you want to get a lawyer to write one so that you protect yourself and contributors and specify by which countries laws agreements are bound to etc.

numerous issues but a few things in particular jumped out at me;

Photographers tutorial is not actually an agreement (so hope this isn't artists agreement), but
1.) You must be the photographer of the photo or the artist who created the artwork.
No exceptions. - this means anyone with staff togs / artists etc is out. Questionable about anyone operating through a company??

You has a capital at each point as if there is going to be a specific definition but there isnt one

This agreement may be revised or updated without notice. You are advised to review it regularly. - alarm bells ringing here, how often? I'm not checking the TOS weekly in case its changed (imo you should email or notify changes on login like SS / IS).

you may want to check on copyright with vehicles, i dont think blanking the plates is enough (not my area though so not sure here).
Editorial use only images can contain visible vehicle license numbers. - do you take editorial? dont remember seeing it mentioned anywhere else. It doesnt mention it in the areas about model releases and logos etc

you have "(found here)" for model release but it isn't a link

Forging a model release is a felony and a federal offense, and you could go to jail over such an offense. - in which country

Finally I dont even know what I want hear here

but as a contributor what are you going to do thats different? (apart from SEO that every single person who starts a micro agency says) I've supported albumo, unluckyOliver, geckostock, Zymm, etc. Crestock is on life support. We upload to a number of small sites such as cutcaster / yay / deposit but basically it costs time and money to upload I want to at least get the feeling that I will some return and say yeah this ones great

All the best, hope you do well
Phil

If it stays like that, I would (if I ever did) upload resized to M. Nobody in his right mind will upload a 21MP photo for 1.50$.

It's not that bad. L is lower than 2 mpx. And I saw a pic with 5 mpx at XL for 5 creds. A 5mpix file will go as a medium for 6 creds at IS if i'm not mistaken.Not such a big difference.

cascoly · « **Reply #14 on:** February 08, 2010, 20:37 »

tried to upload -- did a browse & selected 5 images, then when that failed, just 1 --
both times got error:

'The file has incorrect extention '[extension] - yet these are jpgs -- the pahge however seems to indicate it may be expecting a zipped file? if so, why? and why let us select jpgs?

also, looks like it requires a category before allowing upload - meaning will have to upload many separate times? is there an ftp option?

Have to upload one file at a time or a zip file of images with the same, category and keywords?

I won't upload to another site that doesn't take my metadata. I've done the work. Uploading should be painless

I find it interesting that your portfolio from "Weendy" includes files from two artists that I work with, and they are two different people. Note the portfolio here:
http://stockxpose.com/index.php?category=5&types=&search=&vd=date&c=all&items=100&user=7269&portfolio=1

File #7441 of the frog reaching out is by artist Julos:
http://www.clipartof.com/details/clipart/53928.html

Three of the dancing ladies (#7632, 7631, and 7630) are by OnFocusMedia:
http://www.clipartof.com/portfolio/onfocusmedia/dancing

I know for a fact that these two artists are completely different people. I dont think they would be selling their images together in the same portfolio under the username of Weendy.

This leads me to believe that you dont really know who you are working with. Who are your artists? Are they signing an agreement stating that they are to only provide THEIR work, not stolen work?

This industry is getting really scary. Who are you? Who are your "artists?" I'm worried for the artists and the customers...

Let's see how quickly the operator of this website removes these obviously stolen images. The real artists should also be made aware and the agencies they are represented by as well so the appropriate legal action can be taken.

gostwyck · « **Reply #18 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:24 »

It looks distinctly to me that all the images may be stolen __ so whatever you do don't rush to upload there.

For example the fruit in ice blocks within 'truecolors' portfolio are by tforgo who is an illustrator, athough maybe has also become a fantastic photographer too. I'll PM him on IS.

http://stockxpose.com/index.php?user=7264&portfolio=1

Few contributors, all with small portfolios and every image fantastic stock. Hmm.

Maybe the clue is in the name of this 'site'.

jvoetsch · « **Reply #19 on:** February 09, 2010, 01:39 »

I have notified the artists that I know. We also found one of the other artists and notified her/him.

So we have user Weendy with a port of 71 pics - which seem to have stolen content.

Perhaps its not the site owner. Perhaps its his contributors. Who knows. I find it strange that ALL of the images on the site are stolen though. Its very unlikely that ALL of your first submissions would be stolen content.

Is there a way to report this to iStock? I'm sure they would be all over this seeing as some of the images are supposed to be exclusive to their site AND we know for a fact that the artists themselves are not contributing.

I REALLY feel sorry for any customers licensing images from these guys.

I sent a sitemail to lisegagne, but also sent a copy of that to contributor relations at istock. Where big name exclusives are concerned, they will be all over it like white on rice. And i don't mean to insinuate that they only help big name exclusives, because I asked for help a while back and they checked into a stolen image problem and responded. I just mean that they will be on top of it...especially if it's hurting big name exclusives.

The owner and operator of Stock Xpose is Naveen Kumar (naveenfriendly), a 24 year old guy from India. Also, StockXpose is run on servers in Canada.

What's really interesting about this is that Naveen Kumar had his very own personal account on Stock Xpose... not no more. He deleted it! Why would he do that? Hmmmm, I just can't comprehend what he might have been thinking

What are the odds?! A brand new stock site... and almost all the contributors sell stolen hi-resolution image files by other artists who had no clue this was going on.

Please note throughout this post I added screenshots along with direct links to the webpages I referenced. I did screenshots so you can see exactly what I saw at the time of putting this post together. Naveen Kumar's "cleaning up house" so the webpages might not be the same... but the screenshots will ;-)

One of the biggest issues to note here is that StockXpose has already illegally sold image licenses. The following image that StockXpose sold stood out to me because it is supposed to be an ISTOCK EXCLUSIVE, yet StockXpose has sold it to one of their customers.

Mighty fine research there!!! I hope Getty makes an example of this guy, although he may have removed the content quick enough for them to get any traction.

Guess what?

I just so happened to make a complete copy of StockXpose.com before Naveen Kumar deleted everything from the site!

Guys for your information. We removed all the photos which you peoples listed in this forum thread.And also we banned that user for scam.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions & findings.

You act as if you are the victim Naveen Kumar, .... as if the contributors pulled a fast one over you!

Check out Naveen Kumar's stumbleupon profile pic:

I highly doubt you purchased a license from Artur Gabrysiak (creo77) at http://www.istockphoto.com/stock-photo-7692383-little-girl-drawing.php.

As we say in the UK, you've got more front than Brighton

Hi Naveen,

I would love to hear how you are doing and what your plans are for resurrecting stock.xchng. Whoops! Did i say that!? Sorry Naveen

I get so confused because your micro stock business name is similar to the well know stock.xchng (sxc.hu) site owned by Getty Images. What I meant to say was... how do you plan on resurrecting Stock Xpose, http://www.StockXpose.com $:-\$

Best regards,

Kenny

Is that even possible at this point? To me, the site is burned. I'll never touch it after this whole debacle. Would anyone?

Not sure there is much to resurrect.

StockXpose has a very good chance of success, ... but Naveen better have a wish left in that magical lamp!

No he hasn't. His name is burnt forever. He was even so naive to let his real name out while registering a domain. He programmed a site (probably being a decent coder) and he filled it up with Heroturko or Rapdishare "free" shots to make it look decent. That shows how ignorant he really is. He has no chance in this field any more, not now, not later. He is done.

The sad thing about this is naive artists will contribute to StockXpose.com. One of the reasons I say this is because the websmaster of this site, microstockgroup.com, has made this very important topic only available to registered users! If you are not a member, you can not read this topic. It has been blocked from the search engines as well.
