@Shean
I think its time you to leave exclusivity with IS smacks...
Became independent and finally take big free breath...

Hey, I'm on Dreamstime!

Did you get the SS message, link to your IS account and get accepted based on that? Yes really!

Hey wait, use this link!

Do you have people bidding for who gets to refer you to SS?

It could be a microstock first. People paying artists who are dropping exclusive, to use their referral inks! Think about that strange possibility?

Really?

Last I read you were just halting uploads! Are you just opening up doorways or are you definitely dropping the crown?

LOL - yeah... that stopped me in my tracks too. He seems to mean that he was linked to on someone's blog post there.

Maybe someone linked this on another thread, but I don't remember seeing it. Interesting blog from a great artist who wisely divorced Getty a while back.

Dan from warmpicture posted a link leading to his article in the link exchange thread. I figured to post it here before it gets buried to far. This is excellent...good stuff about Lisa and quotes from Yuri ect..

Fantastic idea for a thread Denis! Really inspiring to see so many media outlets picking up this story.

Quote from: oxman on January 17, 2013, 16:16
The problem with all the PR on this issue is that it will drive "buyers" to Google Drive to snag free images. Sorta like free advertising.

it is a double edged sword of the worst kind.

OX
...the drain spins faster

I completely disagree. I'll acknowledge this may send casual users (housewives, students), running to google drive to grab these images while they can (before they become entangled in a lawsuit, for example).

But this is sending a very loud clear warning to designers and other commercial users, who make up the bulk of our paying customers. Nobody is going to want to use a free image for a client that may end up getting them sued by the copyright holder, or model, or need to be removed later. Not when they can properly license the same or a similar image through a micro site for a few dollars.

Very good point Lisa. Perhaps our efforts should be directed at letting buyers know. I wonder what a two page spread in Photoshop users and Layers would cost. Probably less than a law suit or starting a new site.
