Thinking about why I should continue to sell editorial images via iStock. One rejection of a recently in the new system uploaded editorial image showing a company name with logo  printed on an object associated with it makes me confused. This image has been approved in several other agencies as editorial and sold.

The rejection message:
"Unreleased Copyright
This file includes, as the main focus, content that may be subject to copyright protection. We regret that it cannot be licensed unreleased in our Editorial collection."

I would definitely at least suspend uploads to istock and wait a few months to see what the new payment structure does to rpd. Although with a already one of the lowest rpds and sales for 1c or a fraction of a cent I am not sure what change it will take for someone to stop uploading if they haven't already.

Thanks!


It seems a good idea to wait and see how it develops in the future. The more I study iStock the more remarkable seems that from a supplier's perspective.

No idea to spend time trying to figure out the hard way to find out what is accepted. Too bad you can not erase images with less than opening a case.
