Title: Plusgram - selling instragram photos as stock
Post by: leaf on June 24, 2012, 11:18
Has anyone tried this site?

Their most sold image has a single sale so obviously they are new and it's now big business but an interesting business venture.  I'm sure there is a market for a certain about of instagram type photos but whether is is enough to warrant an entire business or uploading at all is another question.

I just found another site - selling prints of instagram mobile snapshots.

As for copyright, all they say in FAQ is:
Q: What about copyright issues?
A: There is really no need to worry about copyright issues. Your photo being on our site is exactly like it being on Instagram, so there's no increased risk or need to sign or watermark your photos. 

Not a single word about models or property issues...

Well, no; but there's no 'more' risk from posting on instacanv as on Instragram, so that's all right, innit?

I don't get it. Any mac user could do a simple command-shift-4 and do a screen grab of the image. Do they really think folks don't know this stuff.
