Title: EULA Google licence request topic deleted on istock
Post by: mattdixon on January 20, 2013, 15:11
I just had a topic instantly deleted on istock.

All I asked was to see the full EULA licence with Google that images are being sold under.

There is obviously something in it they don't want us to see.

Just had a site mail, they asked me to post in the main thread.

Really? Interesting that they'd take the time to do that.....especially given your question.

If it's in a topic by itself, it will get more people noticing it.  My guess is that was a way of burying the question, and they don't want to call attention to it.  The length of this third thread about Google Images, with little HQ or admin input, probably puts a lot of people off of reading anymore about it at this point.

I've posted in the main thread, they're making me a touch paranoid now.

I'm sure that's why it was deleted, so it could be buried.

well shouldn't we all start new threads with this, or similar, questions?

Not here to pull iStock out of the pile they've apparently stepped in, but I found this link on their forum.

I commented after it, hopefully more will to keep it alive.

It doesn't tell you what's in the licence. You can read the terms of all the other extended licences but not the Google one.
