Post by: captain on February 14, 2013, 20:15
So inconvenient to upload the Model release again so many times (3 months to renew the MR) in one year.No people photo to IS for already one and half year to there.

Huh? Any chance of translating your post into English? You need to 'chang' it so we can understand.

I'm sure what was meant was that the OP thinks it's inconvenient to have to upload MRs with every photo, and for that reason s/he hasn't uploaded released photos to iS for eighteen months, only sending released pics to SS and DT.

Given the potential danger of any model released image on IS making it's way to Google for free and uncontrolled distribution, I've taken down all of my images with people in them.  Just not worth the risk, seeing as I had assured my models of the restricted usage where their images could be displayed.  And, yes, the MR policy at IS was a royal PITA and for that reason alone I hadn't loaded anything new for the past two years.

Yes,your understanding is right.

18 month now ? not 3 month?

Your "3 months to renew the MR" comment evaded me, sorry.

No, releases are valid for one shoot. If you have a shoot with a model today, that release will always be valid for images shot on that day. If you shoot the same model in a month from now, you need to get another release completed.

My first suggestion would be to consider if you really want to upload to iStock in the first place given the Google / Getty issues.

The second suggestion is to use the (free) Deepmeta software. http://www.deepmeta.com/ (http://www.deepmeta.com/)

That's nice for you. What does that have to do with the topic? Model releases have to be done a specific way. It's for your own benefit. Sorry that is so complicated for you that you throw money out.
