Title: Istock Agreement and Getty
Post by: Piens on January 07, 2015, 04:19

Hello! Title says all. I really need more detail explanation, i am not strong in these law changes and new agreement changes etc. Not a lawyer, and i really hope you can guide me in few questions, i know some of you understand these new changes better and can help me and other people who don't know if the changes are mayor.

I am not exclusive photographer, i do upload on more than one stock. With all this merge with Getty, should i worry about my portfolio? I mean, i know Getty is mostly an Exclusive stock only, and when istock merges, does all my work become exclusive to ? Sounds redicilous, but you never know... Should i worry about that? or i can just accept agreement and ignore the changes, because they are not affecting me that much? I am from Europe, and i guess the TAX changes not going to affect me much either ?

I really appreciate for your advice, hope you will help me.

It's mainly an internal reorganisation, it doesn't mean your images are being made exclusive.

Okay, this helps! Thanks for your reply, maybe something else i should know? (major i mean, not minor)

As far as I know there is nothing to worry about (except the tax issue, which you know about).
