I was just uploading some New Year's stuff to iStock (way too late but since it's for 2014 I figured why not try for some last minute sales?). Anyway, I checked out their New Year's lightbox. They are featuring many images with 2012, even one with 2008. Do you think this makes sense - that people will buy them and change the dates? It just seems bizarre to me.
Here's the link: http://www.istockphoto.com/royalty-free/new+years#13ed4906 (http://www.istockphoto.com/royalty-free/new+years#13ed4906)
Look forward to hearing people's thoughts on this. I had some yearly New Year's stuff (i.e. photos with the year on it) going back to 2011 and have taken some of those off various sites, though not all, figuring they'd outlived their usefulness. Am I missing something here?

Then I'm guessing that buyers will make the same mistake I did then when they get to the site and see the big photo to click on to see New Year's images and assume it's a lightbox or the editor's top choices and not just some random search that they could do themselves.
