SS now is on Nasdaq, it's a public company, their mission now is not to survive but to GROW over time, that is making profits for their shareholders.

in order to so, either they grow their customer base or they cut costs or both.


Actually SS is on the NYSE, not NASDAQ and a third option is to somehow figure out a way to increase prices.  Apart from that, you've pretty well hit their dilemma.  Their stock took a fairly hard hit today.  Even at that the stock is still at 47 times future earnings and 9 times sales.  Over priced in my estimation.  I sold my IPO shares when they went above $43.  If they fall back to the upper $20's or low $30's I'll consider buying again.

I think one easy and fair way to increase prices and contributor return is to offer the option of exclusive image series.  I know they are opposed to contributor exclusivity but having the option of image exclusives at a higher return for the contributor and a higher price for the buyer seems like an easy solution.  Position it outside of the subs and more like the SOD sales.  Buyers and SS get the benefit of some exclusive images and contributors get their raise in the way of a better return.

I am curious - since Yuri's port is not available on SS anymore, did anyone who works in the same style see any increase in sales? Or the effect is negligible? My search for "business people" there turned up 900,356 results... hmm I guess I have my answer then:)

While there have been reports of people who were refused exclusivity because they had tiny numbers of files (two, in one instance) on partner sites they didn't even know about, and had to wait until they managed to find out how to get them removed. Fair enough, that's the rules. Unless you're Special.

Right, obviously Yuri got a special deal including some leeway with removing his files.  It's not surprising and it's not news since he said it up front in the only statement he's made about it.  I don't know why you would expect him to take down his files faster than he has to.

Come on, its a huge work to remove that amount of files even with the best intents and cooperation from all sides.

Aggreements should always be reasonable and practical. And in this case they are.

And there is no big damage done, it doesnt matter much if a customer bought a file in the timespan where exclusivity ended or if it was bought when it was not exclusive. The only party it could hurt, is istock/ getty and they have agreed to the transition period.

Well done!!  I know a guy who joined the house collection at the same time as I did. He uploaded four Sci-fi pics to another RF agency. They refused them for some reason.
However they got accepted in the house-collection and only a few months ago they sold for 6K, Euro that was.
Funny but you just cant tell, can you. :)

for sci-fi and science images just join SPL agency and they resell with Getty.

6K euro ? 8000$ ? that's a great sale.

Has the normally-malfunctioning connector to Getty worked for his images?

They need to reverse it and have them come from Getty, likely.

Wonder if teaching a class for Depositphotos at MSExpo is part of the deal ;) .
