it's amazing how creative they are when inventing various ways of screwing contributors..

yep since the beginning

It always seemed to me like they are actually, actively trying. Hard.

Although to be fair, there might be a good reason for this: It makes it a little harder to search Thinkstock for a particular image you found on iStock.

I think it's not fair at all... but we are used to this kind things from IS

It does on the french site.

really? iStock is a joke

Look better, credit (and copyright) is

I was considering the possibility of resuming uploads to iStock, but the lack of credit on TS, along with the Google Deal stopped me cold. They have no respect for contributors, and I'm not willing to throw away my self respect by allowing them to treat me like a non-entity.
