I understand why they do it, but it takes away the right for contributors to manage their own business. It pays to read the contract. If a contributor isn’t ok with them taking control of your assets, don’t sell there. I doubt I would have even signed up if those were the terms way back when.

If you upload images on istock/getty it is not your business anymore. At least they think so!
