I've pretty much switched all my releases to EasyRelease. There are a lot of reasons, but chasing papers once I'm back from a shoot is frankly a drag. However, microstock is by far NOT the only reason I am shooting. I felt as though I needed to modify the language of the EasyRelease by one sentence to also include adult content for magazine submission--I make a lot more from this than I do from Microstock. IStock is insisting on unmodified releases. I'm not even sure they are reading for the difference--in my case a one sentence addition of usage. It wouldn't even effect IStock usage a bit yet I just got a batch rejection.
Sorry but I'm not going to take the time to have the model fill out two forms of release just for IStock. I had no problems with SS or DT. IStock just doesn't produce enough revenue for me to change my work flow. Just another reason for me to care less about playing in IStock's playground in addition to taking about 3x longer to make each individual image submission. I foresee me just tapering off of IStock and eventually just deactivating my entire portfolio.
